Marc understands that the majority of new jobs created in Massachusetts are by small business owners.  Representative Lombardo understands that government doesn’t create jobs rather they create a climate for the market to exist – and sometimes the best thing government can do is to get out of the way of job creators.  That is why Marc joined with his colleague Representative Shaunna O’Connell to introduce a legislative packaged called the “Small Business Bill of Rights.” 

The Small Business Bill of Rights includes:

• Instituting a one year waiting period before a new tax or new regulation can take effect
• Requiring hearings on tax increase proposals for input from the business community
• Requiring a cost-benefit analysis of regulations every 5 years
• Limit treble damages to willful actions
• Allowing people to freelance work as independent contractors
