Kerry, Snowe Schedule SBA Hearings For Jan.

U.S. Sens. John Kerry, D-Mass. and Olympia J. Snowe, R-Maine, the chairman and ranking member of the senate committee on small business and entrepreneurship, announced a hearing in January they say will hold the U.S. Small Business Administration accountable for promises to implement programs to help small businesses.

Kerry and Snowe said they would press the administration on funding for the SBA's women’s business centers, implementing the women’s procurement program, providing energy assistance for entrepreneurs, and reaching out to small business owners and their families about health insurance programs.

Kerry and Snowe said the women's procurement program should've been implemented in October, but hasn't been, and that the women's business centers have been underfunded.
