Supporting Small Businesses: Put Pasadena FirstBy Khatchik Chris ChahinianCandidate for Council Member; City of Pasadena; District 4 |
This information is provided by the candidate | |
Small businesses are the key to economic recovery. People are hurting economically. I am concerned about the number of empty storefronts. Pasadena's economy is impacted by the national and regional economy--the city council needs to find ways to stimulate the local economy. Small businesses create jobs.Small businesses are the key to economic recovery. People are hurting economically. I am concerned about the number of empty storefronts. Pasadena's economy is impacted by the national and regional economy--the city council needs to find ways to stimulate the local economy. Small businesses create jobs. We need to improve the permit process, especially for small businesses. When small busin esses delay their openings because they are waiting for permit approval, Pasadena loses tax revenue. The city should make it a priority to hire Pasadena businesses and contractors in order to keep the jobs, resources and money in the city. People that work in Pasadena spend money in Pasadena. Supporting small businesses makes good business sense for everyone. |
