We're proud to advocate on behalf of businesses, and give them the opportunity to connect directly with public officials to discuss important topics, including policies to reduce financial burdens on county government, protecting the Manufacturing and Agriculture Tax Credit, and the impact of the EPA’s serious non-attainment designation for Wisconsin. ?
