"I am so honored to be a part of this pivotal task force. This task force gives us a chance to open up a dialogue, to better understand the effects of new legislation on everyone, from individual citizens to the private sector. In the wake of this recession, it is even more important to be conscious of the different ways regulations and legislation actually affect our nation, especially our small businesses."
