Next week I will be joining a delegation of St. Tammany business and local government representatives in Washington, D.C.  where we will meet with numerous elected and appointed officials.  This is our opportunity to place our concerns directly in front of national decision makers.

I will be especially concerned with Economic Development and its related issues such as transportation, energy, and banking.  Many decisions made in Washington have a direct effect on us, from interstate and railroad improvements to the availability of financing for small businesses.

We are Louisiana’s fifth most populated parish.  When policy and funding issues are being discussed, it is imperative that St. Tammany’s concerns be considered.  We will be there to represent your interests.

I will give you a report when I return.

Pat
