ICYMI: West Virginia Small Business Praises Ex-Im, Refutes Rep. McKinley
West Virginia Small Business Says “Small Businesses Need Ex-Im.” “[Rep. David McKinley’s] statement doesn’t track with the experience of the Wheeling Truck Center, which said it depends on the bank to facilitate its sales in 98 foreign countries. ‘The Ex-Im Bank has been very helpful to our company,’ Chad Remp, operations manager for Wheeling Truck, said in a phone interview. ‘We have used the insurance product from the bank, which has helped us expand our international sales…Small businesses need Ex-Im…It has a tremendous impact on both our sales and on our ability to hire. Ex-Im needs to be reauthorized.’” (Paul J. Nyden, “Wheeling Company Benefits From Ex-Im Bank, Despite McKinley Claim,” The Charleston Gazette, 6/13/15)
