LANSING, Mich. — State Sen. Michael Webber was among a small group of lawmakers recognized by the Small Business Association of Michigan (SBAM) on Feb. 27 for their work to reduce tax burdens on small businesses, support for the redevelopment of brownfield sites, and opposition to measures that stifle relationships between employers and employees.

"In many ways, Michigan’s small businesses are the heartbeat of our economy," said Webber, R-Rochester Hills. "Everything we do in Lansing to support the growth of small businesses has a positive impact on the economic development of our state and the prosperity of all Michiganders."

SBAM recognized lawmakers with a 100% voting record on the matters most important to small business owners, including:

“The voting buttons in the Capitol have an immense impact on the operations of small businesses throughout Michigan, and those pressing them need to have their finger on the pulse of what policies will hinder their growth and success rate,” said Brian Calley, SBAM president and CEO. “While we have bipartisan recognition of many of the issues we work on to support and grow small businesses, only a handful have a clear understanding of how punitive some of these policies are, and how much government overreach could harm them.”
