Meeting with the Merrimack Valley Chamber of Commerce
This morning I had the opportunity to join with several of
my Senate colleagues for a Merrimack Valley Chamber of Commerce forum to
discuss the Massachusetts economy. The
forum, which was held at Salvatore’s Riverwalk Conference Center in Lawrence,
MA, was well attended by many civic and business leaders from the region.
The forum provided an excellent opportunity to speak
directly with members of the business community regarding issues that affect
the vitality of our economy, and I am pleased to have joined in today’s
discussion.
With the assistance of former State Senator Steven Baddour serving
as today’s guest moderator, we discussed issues such as the latest state revenue
and unemployment figures, unemployment insurance reforms, the ongoing minimum
wage debate, and many proposals the Senate Republican Caucus has offered to
reduce health care and energy costs for businesses within the Commonwealth.
