Survey/ Travelers Event

Our 11th annual survey is closed.  We received 676 responses.  This year small businesses seem to be more optimistic than the last few years, and more are indicating their receipts have gone up over the last year.  The top six  issues were the same as last year. They were:

  • The Economy
  • Health Cost and access
  • The quality of Public Education
  • Regulations
  • Infrastructure
  • Reducing State Taxes


It was also interesting to see that for the first time there was more support for public financing of health insurance (46.53%) than opposition (37.16%).
