(AP) — U.S. Rep. John Lewis says Congress has “difficult days ahead” as it grapples with tough issues on unemployment benefits, tax breaks and other problems facing the country. The Atlanta Democrat spoke to the annual meeting of the National Black Caucus of State Legislators in Atlanta on Thursday. He told the crowd he couldn’t stay long because he had to get to Washington, D.C., for votes on continuing unemployment benefits and extending tax cuts.
