Issues 2010 Briefing Book

With the 111th Congress and the 2010 session of the Pennsylvania General Assembly underway, it is essential that our elected officials have an understanding of the economic implications of their decisions on the issues most critical to creating a pro-growth, pro-job economic environment.

The Issues 2010 MBA Legislative Priorities Briefing Book focuses on both state and federal issues of interest to the MBA membership and outlines our pro-growth, pro-jobs agenda. The book will be forwarded to all Pennsylvania legislators.

The Board of Governors has dramatically increased the legislative affairs division at the Association in an effort to more effectively communicate with elected officials.

“This expansion of our Government Affairs activity should be a clear signal to elected officials that our voice will be heard,” said MBA President Ralph J. Pontillo. “The private sector creates the jobs and opportunities in our economy, not government. Elected officials need to know the business communities position on economic issues. Our members must be heard and elected officials must be held accountable for their actions.”

Working together, we can improve Pennsylvania’s business climate through effective communication with elected officials.
