Chamber Members Voice Business Legislative Issues

Chamber members discuss top business issues for the
2013 legislative session with
Jennifer Byers, MN Chamber of Commerce.

Numerous OACCT members, and other business leaders from the region, gathered to share input on business issues the Minnesota Chamber should focus on for the 2013 session.

Among the top issues: taxes and tax reform (business should be apart of the discussion); workforce issues (specifically soft/critical skill development); energy costs (less government involvement); healthcare; prevailing wage and the state departments managing details of the legislative action that is unclear and not consistent, which makes it difficult for businesses to comply.

Jennifer Byer is the vice president of grassroots and local chamber relations for the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce (jbyers@mnchamber.com).
