Our Challenge…Your Challenge
Now, more than ever, you need your Chamber of Commerce
working on your behalf. Business is down across the state,
tax revenues have plummeted, and state and local governments
are looking for new revenue sources. That means all
political eyes are looking towards business to backfill the
revenue shortfalls. And, they are looking at new fees and
revenue enhancement schemes that will further diminish the
expendable income that consumers have to purchase your goods
and/or services.
As your advocacy organization, we are,
along with our business advocacy partners, fighting
increases in business taxes, new fees, workers comp
increases and other initiatives that weaken our businesses.
Can you really afford not to belong the
Chamber of
Commerce?
If we’re not watching out for you…who will?
