Update on my Senate testimony earlier today…

It’s done. I testified earlier today before the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. It turns out things were a little rushed at the hearing — I was only given about three minutes to deliver my verbal testimony (which is very short, especially given the length of my written testimony) — and Ranking Member Sen. Olympia Snowe wasn’t able to be there for the panel I was on. But I think I got my point across, and Committee Chair Sen. Mary Landrieu commented that the different opinions on the panel made for some interesting debate.

As I began to prepare my testimony last Friday, I was advised that I could submit a lengthy written testimony and summarize the high points in my verbal testimony. To read more about why I did this, and to read the full text of my written testimony, go here.

We’re supposed to get a video of the hearing soon, and you’ll be the first to know when we do. Thanks for your continued support of America’s small business owners. Let’s all cross our fingers that this hearing and other things that are in motion will trigger some needed beneficial changes for our small business community.

Dedicated to Your Continued Success,

Chris

P.S. Let me know how I did (if you happened to catch the live video stream) and/or what you think about my full written testimony. Email me at ChrisHurn@MercantileCC.com or leave a comment on my blog. Thanks in advance!
