Local business leaders to meet with governor
GLOVERSVILLE — Ten local business leaders, apparent Mayor-elect Dayton King and Fulton County Regional Chamber of Commerce & Industry President Wally Hart will meet with Gov. David Paterson on Monday to discuss Paterson’s plan to reduce the state deficit and its effect on small business owners. Hart said Friday he chose a number of chamber members to attend the meeting. Similar discussions have occurred across the state to give Paterson a venue to discuss his budget and deficit reduction plan with some of the people it will most affect: small business owners. He said the group will ask the governor to cut as much spending as possible and avoid any new fees and taxes. “Every time [the state] spends more money, taxes and fees increase, and small businesses just can’t afford it,” Hart said. Hart said the governor will talk to those present about the state budget and his plans for cutting the deficit.
