This month, your Chamber will join with others as we prepare to fight for the issues that matter the most to your business.   We’ll carry this fight to both Tallahassee and to Washington.   We’ve seen issues such as unemployment, card check, and health care continue to dominate the national dialogue, and we welcome your input on these and other issues facing the business community.   With your feedback we will be best armed to speak with our elected officials and carry the message forward.   This will also aid us in setting part of your Chamber’s Goals and Business Agenda for 2010.

One issue we call to your attention is Amendment 4, which we will strongly oppose as this measure would virtually ‘shut down’ any possibility of future growth.   In short, you could not have any type of zoning change without first having public approval.   In other words, everything would be put to a vote of the general population.   This and other issues will be discussed even further at the upcoming Future of Florida Forum and local chamber annual conference in Orlando, October 12-14.   If you’d like more information on this, or the link to registering, please give me a call.
 

I want to thank you for your continued support.   Now, more than ever, we need to remain connected and continue to promote a strong business climate

Dick
