In interviews with ABC News and with WBUR's Bob Oakes this weekend, Brown said he would vote for the president's proposal to provide tax credits to businesses that hire new employees, a plan some Republican senators say they will oppose. Brown made the remarks during a tour of Massachusetts this weekend to thank people who supported him. ]]></description>
