Lawmakers Heading Back To Capital Hill

Lawmakers are trickling back to Capitol Hill from their August recess, and the federal budget won't be the only battle taking place. House Republicans have said they'll also focus on repealing environmental and labor regulations they think are discouraging hiring. Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) has promised a bill to stop the National Labor Relations Board from restricting where companies put new factories. That's in direct response to a dispute between the administration and Boeing. Cantor also wants to stop the EPA from moving forward with tough new air pollution rules. The GOP challenge comes just before President Obama is expected to unveil his latest plan to boost employment.
