Last Thursday, 5/21/2020, great information was shared by notable figures: Carl Tutt Chairman – 100 BMC Partner, Green Technologies, LLC, Juan Thomas, JD Founder – Thomas Law Group, Darryl Arrington Assistant VP DePaul University, Michael Frerichs Illinois State Treasurer.
Michael Frerichs goes into great detail about how the treasures office is helping small business and why they are helping small businesses.
“The best investments we can make is in Illinois small businesses because 1) we make money and 2) if we help keep people employed and help these businesses grow, that means more tax dollars coming into the state and lower unemployment.”
Frerichs also tells us a problem with the PPP program and why many small businesses weren’t allowed to participate.
Carl Tutt discusses the importance of the 2020 census and how communities have to stop looking at the short term for finances.
