Issue Position: Help for Small Businesses

Issue Position

Date: Oct. 10, 2012
Issues: Business and Consumers Taxes

As the owner of a family business, Karen knows that small businesses are the backbone of our economy and the engine of job growth in MetroWest. That's why she's fought tirelessly to lower the corporate tax rate in our state, making our businesses more competitive. She's also continued the Senate's work on health care payment reform and cost control--so business owners can hire more workers instead of paying higher premiums.

It's also why she authored a bill to create The Massachusetts Growth Capital Corporation, which helps small businesses gain access to working capital, allowing growth even in times of tight credit.

Economists may have pronounced the recession over, but Karen knows the recovery won't reach main street until we can get small businesses in MetroWest growing and hiring. That is why she's worked so hard to help our small businesses put out the "help wanted" sign again.
