“The California Chamber of Commerce applauds the Lieutenant Governor for joining us in putting jobs, the economy and California’s business climate front and center.  We particularly appreciate Lieutenant Governor Newsom highlighting the importance of international trade and the global economy, regulatory reform, and the priority Sacramento policy makers must place on doing no more harm to our economy.  We recognize that this agenda isn’t the end of a process, it is only the beginning.  CalChamber agrees that now is the time to act and we look forward to working with the Lieutenant Governor as California moves from agenda to action.”
