Chamber hosted 2014 Legislative Preview Meeting
|
| |
The Chamber's Government Issues Committee was honored to host a 2014 Legislative Preview Meeting, which included Indiana Senator's Ryan Mishler (S-9) and Randy Head (S-18) in attendance. The two senators shared some hot topics that are expected to be presented at the 2014 session.
Presentations from our legislators are extremely important for the Chamber to learn first-hand what is happening at the statehouse. This vital interaction allows our Government Issues Committee to develop positions that will help the business climate of Kosciusko County.
Thanks to Senator's Ryan Mishler and Randy Head for addressing our Government Issues Committee.
