Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.) introduced legislation Wednesday aimed at spurring job growth at the local level.
Once passed, the bill will provide communities $100 billion over the next two years to prevent businesses and local governments from being forced to cut jobs.
"In most cases local officials either raise taxes or lay-off workers when facing the kind of budget crisis they face today," said the California Democrat. (0:10)
