Paiva-Weed To Speak About Business Reforms at Eggs and Issues April 25

Rhode Island Senate President Teresa Paiva-Weed will address business regulation reform at the Chamber’s April 25 Eggs and Issues Breakfast. 

Senate leadership's recent package of legislation, part of its “Moving the Needle” agenda, tackles issues like regulatory and permitting reform, tax policy changes and education restructuring.

Paiva Weed will visit members at the Kirkbrae Country Club, 197 Old River Road in Lincoln to answer: What will be the outcome of the proposed reduction in the Jobs Development Tax Credit and what will it mean to Northern Rhode Island and major employers like CVS/Caremark? Will this be the year that Rhode Island’s regulatory environment gets a major overhaul? Will the rollout of the Rhode Island Health Insurance Exchange in October end up costing the state and/or businesses more money? Do General Assembly leaders have a plan to address a court loss for the state in the “retirement reform” litigation?

Business leaders who are concerned about keeping northern Rhode Island a strong and attractive place to do business should not miss this opportunity to hear from a state leader who has an instrumental part in making that happen.

The cost to attend is $20 for Chamber members, $30 for Chamber member walk-ins and $40 for non-Chamber members. For more information and to register visit the Chamber’s website at www.nrichamber.com or call 401-334-1000.
