"Democrats Will Make Small Businesses Stronger"
The Ridgefield Democrats’ Small Business Zoom Forum on October 8th shows that Democrats in Connecticut are taking the lead in solving problems. Lt. Governor Susan Bysiewisz described the state’s proactive measures to keep businesses operating during the COVID-19 crisis and still come out strong, often through partnering with numerous private business groups. Economist Nick Perna of Ridgefield explained graphically the depth of this crisis and how far up we still have to go to recover.
It was especially encouraging to hear Democratic candidate for the State House of Representatives Aimee Berger-Girvalo present the vision for small business health that she will bring to Hartford. It was full of well-through-through specifics that draw on her business background and her career helping people. She highlighted the need for rent subsidies to keep our struggling local businesses alive, business bridge loans, expansion of sales-tax-free weeks, and a long-term focus on health care.
