Legislative Preview Next Week

The Taste has come and gone, and now we look forward to another important annual event we have here at the Chamber - the Legislative Preview reception takes place next Wednesday, December 9, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

The Chamber hosts along with the Northeast Indiana Chamber Coalition (NEICC). We will be presenting our 2010 State Legislative Agenda. We will also hear from our legislative delegation, as well as the State Chamber, on what their priorities are for the upcoming session, which begins January 5.

Keeping you informed of legislation that impacts your business is part of our mission here at the Chamber, and the Preview is something you will not want to miss. The Chamber's Legislative Agenda is a working document by which we measure bills during session. While I can't give too much away just yet, I can tell you that some of what you will hear about includes:

• Local Government Reform
• Economic Development Incentive Flexibility
• Promoting a Globally Competitive Tax Climate
• Providing Employers Greater Latitude to Make Wage Deductions

The Preview will also include cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. RSVP online now. If you have any questions, contact Joni Howell, VP of Government Affairs, at (260) 424-1435.
