In for another chamber minute, it’s Rosey. August has kept us busy already, Our Chamber is more than just parties, pageants and networking events, The Bay Area Chamber of Commerce is hard at work in the Legislative Action department too, An initiative called IP-17 came in for proposal to get on next ballot; and Now known as Measure 118: a 3% added Business Tax for any businesses over $25 million in sales IS COMING to the November Ballot. We URGE you to VOTE NO on Measure 118, this added Tax is bad news for Oregon, and will drive up prices for all consumers in Oregon, Causing Oregon to FALL EVEN LOWER in ranking on places to do business. Our Chamber members, receive updates regularly through email and our newsletter on things that affect our area businesses. Bay Area Chamber members stay informed on things that matter and can find ways to help. Links on how to help get your voices heard on this measure are included in my August newsletter, or you can call the Chamber office for ways to get involved.
