Dear Chamber Members...

Governor pulls B2B from his proposal

Governor Mark Dayton announced that he is dropping his proposal to extend the sales tax to business-to-business transactions. We appreciate the Governor’s change of course as this proposal would have had serious consequences for Minnesota employers.The Governor has indicated that he will submit a revised budget in the coming week.

Special thanks to all the White Bear area businesses that contacted their legislators and the Governor to address this important issue. Your messages was heard and made a difference.  This is an example of why it’s important as business people to be engaged in the legislative process and to attend the various Chamber legislative venues.

We will continue to advocate for reforms designed to improve Minnesota’s competitiveness.

In other news, Wednesday, March 13th,  the Chamber is hosting a Wine Tasting/ Business After Hours from 5 - 7 pm at TRIA Restaurant, 5959 Centerville Road in North Oaks. Come and enjoy a outstanding selection of appetizers, wonderful wine selection, and great networking all for an investment of only $15.00. RSVP by e-mailing maureen@whitebearchamber.com .
