## Resource

A new El Paso Chamber-funded study warns that ending commercial traffic on the Bridge of Americas could cost the region $2.3 billion in lost economic output and 9,500 jobs, while also slashing $213 million in tax revenue and triggering a surge in emissions and logistics costs. With the U.S. GSA favoring the move as part of port modernization, the Chamber urges officials to reconsider, but Rep. Veronica Escobar says the decision is final—now it’s time to prep other ports and innovate for the future. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
