Every day, the news reports that our state is desperately looking for more tax dollars…especially from Kentucky businesses. How do you feel about that?
According to the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, several of the primary concerns during this current legislative session are:
- Creating more jobs by passing a right-to-work law. Kentucky is the only southern state to not be a right-to-work state. We lose new businesses every year to all of our neighboring states that are right-to-work.
The urgent need for comprehensive tax reform in order to more efficiently utilize our current taxes and to avoid adding new taxes.
- Enacting a statewide smoking ban in all public places, including our state parks.
- Immediate improvement of our state pension system which has over $40 Billion in unfunded liabilities as of 2013.
NAWBO is honored to have an excellent speaker to address these crucial topics for us on February 17. Come hear Amy Wickliffe, a Partner in the esteemed firm of McCarthy Strategic Solutions, a staff of well-known business management consultants to some of Kentucky’s most successful business and professional associations. Amy will share with us what’s on the horizon in the current legislative session, as well as how to effectively advocate to protect our businesses.
Make your reservations today and invite your business friends to hear this vital message from Frankfort!
