Binghamton, NY— Today, Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-22) held a roundtable with the Greater Binghamton Chamber of Commerce and local business owners to discuss how tax reform has improved the lives of people in the 22nd District.
As part of Tax Reform Week, the third week of Renew NY-22, Rep. Tenney will travel the district highlighting the many ways tax reform has improved the lives of businesses and families throughout the district.
“Tax reform starts with providing relief to the hard-working families and small businesses that power our economy. Families are keeping more of their hard-earned money, and our businesses and farms are able to grow and hire more staff,” said Rep. Tenney. “During the roundtable, I spoke with local business owners who have benefited from tax reform. Todd Stupski, owner of J&R Supply, bought more machinery, hired more workers, and reinvested back in the business. John Matthews, CEO of BSC Associates, was able to give a greater bonus with increased flexibility due to tax reform. Although tax reform is improving the lives of all businesses and employees, our small business community agrees that the cost of Obamacare is hurting their ability to grow.”
The Greater Binghamton Chamber is currently working on an apprenticeship program to improve education and training programs. Last month, Rep. Tenney attended President Trump’s remarks on the Pledge to the American Worker. There, the President signed an executive order to enhance vocational training, creating a national council for U.S. workers and a workforce policy advisory board. During the ceremony, companies from across the country signed the pledge to create 500,000 new career and development opportunities for students and workers.
