“We appreciate the opportunity for those who seek to lead the State, offer to the Business Community of Utah Valley to hear, learn and be informed," said Scott Barlow, GRC Chairman. "We need to know how these leaders will help foster a healthy environment for business development and growth. When business grows, the tax base grows, and more is available to help provide valuable services in the community. We can better fund education, better fund transportation, better meet human service needs. We see improvement of all sectors of the community. We look forward to a respectful, vigorous debate, so voters can make a good choice in November and hope chamber members and citizens take advantage of that opportunity.”
