On Wednesday, Aug. 30, we hosted a small business roundtable with U.S. Rep. Mike Carey (District 15) at City Barbeque in Dublin. Congressman Carey talked about a host of federal issues including efforts to make the 20% Small Business Deduction permanent. He also joined us in recognizing eInformatics as a 20-year member of NFIB.

We want to thank Rep. Melanie Miller again for visiting Knowlton Machine, a 30-year @NFIB member business in Ashland, and talking with owners Dan and Tammy Frontz about the issues facing Ohio’s #SmallBusiness community! pic.twitter.com/z17GFxzrST
