Wichita Chamber of Commerce 2011 Visit

Statement

On Wednesday, I had the pleasure of speaking to a group of business leaders participating in the Wichita Metro Chamber of Commerce 2011 Washington Fly-In. While in town, they had the opportunity to meet with members of the Kansas delegation as well as take part in policy briefings offered by officials at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

The message I received from members of the Wichita Chamber is that Washington's laws, regulations and excessive spending continue to create economic uncertainty, and are hindering business growth, job creation and opportunity for Kansans. Chamber members reminded me that our country must chart a new direction in health care, energy, banking, taxes and debt if we are to create a promising future for the next generation. Thanks to all the members of the Wichita Chamber for making the trip to our nation's capital.
