“Small Business Day was a good event that served two important purposes,” Homeyer said afterward. “It helped NFIB members and others who attended understand more about what’s happening in Columbia, and it reminded our legislators and other elected officials of the important role small businesses play in the state’s economy.”#SmallBusinessDay continues as @NFIB State Director Ben Homeyer leads a panel on legislation and issues affecting #SouthCarolina’s job creators #SCpol pic.twitter.com/hx1wSOGHFZ
