New Reforms to Free Up Cash

 

Good Afternoon:

Happy New Year! From the Commission on African American Affairs’ staff and board, we wanted to share some exciting news with you, on the Governor proposals to accelerate Washington State’s economic recovery.

The plan includes new reforms to free up cash for our state’s small businesses to help them grow and hire, as well as strategies to help those hardest hit by the recession to receive the training necessary to land a job and pump more money into our local economies.

Best Wishes Always!
From the staff and board of the Commission on African American Affairs.
