When I realized, as a regular constituent, the magnitude of this year’s municipal elections, I was drawn to them. But as a small\u002Dbusiness owner, I also realize…
As small-business owners, we need to make sure that we question our municipal candidates non-stop about issues that are important to us. From taxes, the removal of red tape at city hall and compensation programs for businesses affected by road work; to waste removal, lowering costs of city-run parking meters, streamlining permits and appeals — this is the time where no question is a stupid one.
For busy business owners, accessible information is key — but candidates need to know that the small business community will not likely open the doors to bell-ringing canvassers at dinner time. Yet, as business owners, it is also our responsibility to seek those few opportunities that exist to stand in front of candidates who are ready to answer questions with a small-business lens in mind.
Whether it is candidate debates or virtual roundtables that give us an opportunity to connect with candidates and ask questions through a business lens, it is our responsibility to get involved.
