WASHINGTON – On Thursday, May 17, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner will visit Baltimore to deliver remarks and participate in a discussion on the state of the economy with members of the Greater Baltimore Committee.  In his remarks before local business leaders, the Secretary will outline the primary economic imperatives facing the country and review the Administration’s efforts to support economic growth in the short term, put in place the right investments and reforms for our future, and restore fiscal sustainability under a balanced approach.  Later in the morning, Secretary Geithner will tour local manufacturer Marlin Steel Wire Products. He will highlight the importance for Congress to take action on the President’s “To Do List” and pass a new hire tax credit that will help small businesses like Marlin Steel create jobs in communities across the country.  During his visit to Baltimore, Secretary Geithner will also meet with business and community leaders at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
