Romney Talks Business in Salem

Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was at Mosaic Technology in Salem this morning for a business round-table event.

The  Greater Salem Chamber of Commerce helped organize this morning's event, one of two New Hampshire stops where Romney was planning to talk business today. At 10:30, he is supposed to make a stop at Lincoln Financial in Concord.

During his Salem stop, Romney held a roundtable conversation with local business leaders, plus a handful of politicians like state Sen. Chuck Morse and House Majority Leader D.J. Bettencourt.

Romney said he wanted to hear ideas from local business people, but wound up mostly taking questions from those in attendance. He talked a lot about stimulating the economy, but also spent a good deal of time criticizing the Obama administration.

Salem Patch will have full coverage of Romney's appearance in Salem later today. For coverage of his Concord stop, go to Concord Patch.
