Business keeping eye on Washington D.C.
Healthcare reform
continues to dominate most discussion in Washington. The
idea of a public insurance option is drawing the most
debate.
Cap and trade
legislation that would likely lead to
increased electric rates for states like Kentucky that
heavily rely on coal-fired power plants was debated last
week in the Senate after passing the House earlier this
year. The recent Chamber member survey showed 63%
of members oppose cap and trade, 24% are unsure of the
impact it would have on their business and 10% support
it.
Congressman Guthrie survey
KY 2nd District Congressman Brett Guthrie is asking
constituents for their opinion about a variety of issues.
