NJBIA President and CEO Michele N. Siekerka, Esq. released the following statement in response to a series of economic relief actions announced today by Senate President Steve Sweeney.
\”NJBIA thanks Senate President Sweeney for consideration of these much needed economic initiatives, which will help both employers and employees during these extremely challenging and worrying times for small business in the state of New Jersey.
\”In no uncertain terms, many of our members are telling us both directly and through our polling that they have serious concerns about the stability and solvency of their operations, both in the short-term and the long-term, due to the overall response of the coronavirus.
\”We believe the protections and extensions proposed today are a start toward helping to mitigate some of the negative economic impacts being experienced, or soon to be experienced by our job creators, workers and their families as we go through this together.
\”NJBIA is grateful to our policymakers for their continued consideration of ideas and proposals that can help the business community and we look forward to further working with them as they come to fruition.\”
