Small Biz Reg Watch vol 1, Issue 7
Terrence P. Murphy
June 16, 2015
Dear Neighbor,
Below are this week's featured regulations. Remember, you can always check out the ARRC website for a more comprehensive list of rules and regulations from both the fedeal and state government.
As a small business owner, I know firsthand how the miles of red tape can strangle the life out of any business. The goal of the small business regulatory watch is to make our state and federal government more transparent and business friendly. I encourage you to speak out against any of the proposed rules and regulations you see that may adversely impact your individual business or field.
If I or my staff can ever be of help please do not hesitate to contact us.
Wishing you the best,
