National Federation of Independent Businesses/VT

I am pleased the National Federation of Independent Business/VT, the voice of small business, has endorsed my campaign for re-election to the Vermont House of Representatives.
Vermont ranks near the bottom of all states when it comes to its long-term economic outlook because of its tax and regulatory policies. The small business sector in our state makes up more than 96% of all employers, and creates more than half of the state’s new jobs. These small businesses are struggling to survive because of the recession and because of the weight of too many taxes and regulations. We simply cannot afford any more new costly rules, mandates or higher taxes.
If re-elected I will continue to work to limit the demands made on our small businesses and to reduce all Vermonter's taxes. It’s nice to know NFIB/VT noticed my work.
