"Letter of Endorsement for Aimee Berger-Girvalo"

The Small Business Forum featuring Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz, President of Downtown Ridgefield Mary Jones, Economist Nick Perna and Democratic Connecticut House candidate Aimee Berger-Girvalo, gave in depth perspectives into the challenges small businesses are facing and presented meaningful solutions for these challenges. I was impressed by the specific plans Aimee Berger-Girvalo spelled out to implement as our representative in Hartford including expanding the Sales Tax Free week to dining in non-chain restaurants through October and November. I appreciated her proposal of a cap on the delivery platform fees (i.e. Grubhub) to reduce the burden on restaurants. Finally, all agreed our wonderful Main Street is why new families move here, and therefore needs to be a priority for all Ridgefielders to keep their purchasing dollars local. I know that with Aimee Berger-Girvalo as our State Representative, all Ridgefield residents and small businesses will have an active advocate in Hartford.
