BALTIMORE March 15, 2012 The Maryland Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Governor's Commission of Hispanic Affairs welcomed His Excellency Dr. Rafael Alburquerque de Castro, Vice President of the Dominican Republic along with His Excellency Anibal de Castro Ambassador to the US at a private reception following a day of diplomatic good will at the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Museum.
Taxes: The reality that businesses need a stable, predictable, and fair environment in which to thrive, with a particularly relevance and importance for small businesses.
Small Business Support: The need for Maryland entrepreneurs to be encouraged to develop their own businesses creating sustainable jobs for other residents and improving the State’s overall economy. Including a strong show of support on behalf of the Chambers for the Governor’s Small Business Commission recommendation to set aside certain procurement opportunities of a specified size to the Small Business Reserve Program.
Minority Business Enterprises: The need and support for the re-authorization of the MBE/WBE program.
Workforce Development and Education: The need to support programs that help Maryland residents develop the skills necessary to be gainfully employed in Maryland continue to be supported and enhanced.
Immigrant Discrimination: That the Chamber would not support any legislation that disproportionately targets foreign born residents of Maryland. The Chambers collectively feel that a worker’s immigration status is a matter of federal law and should be left to the federal government to enforce.
Health Care Act: The need to support legislation related to the implementation and protection of the federal Affordable Health Care Act and ensure that the costs of implementation of the Act have a minimal impact on small businesses in the state. Thelegislation (SB 238, SB 234 and SB 206) will ensure more people become insured and provide tax benefits for businesses to provide health care to their employees.
The Chamber understands and agrees that making sure these issues are and remain a priority will allow the Maryland Hispanic and all of the Greater Maryland community to continue to prosper and grow.
On Monday, January 23rd, MDHCC Vice Chair, Enrique Melendez, represented the Maryland Hispanic Chamber at the Maryland Political Summit sponsored by UMD's. Melendez presented some of the Maryland Legislative Leadership during the Political Summit.
