ATLANTA – State Representative Lynne Riley (R-Johns Creek) recently attended The Main Street Growth & Opportunity Coalition launch event where the group announced its launch in Georgia and urged federal lawmakers to take action on tax and immigration reform, and expanded trade. The Main Street Growth & Opportunity Coalition is an alliance of businesses, local trade associations and concerned individuals committed to supporting a common sense, pro-growth agenda for America.
“American businesses pay way too much in taxes, and are forced to dedicate far too many resources to navigating our overcomplicated tax code,” said Rep. Riley. “If we really want the economy to grow and create more jobs, we need to relieve both of these burdens on businesses – lower their taxes and make the tax code simpler.”
The Main Street Growth & Opportunity Coalition supports comprehensive tax and immigration reform and expanding trade opportunities and seeks to educate federal lawmakers and state residents about the economic benefits of these policies and illustrates the consequences of inaction.
“It’s time for our elected leaders in Washington, to move past the peripheral concerns bogging down Congress and take real action on the important issues we face as a country, such as fixing our tax code, trade policies and immigration system,” said small business owner Matt McCord.
