Last month, a bill that reinforces the importance of punishing identity thieves and the severity of their crimes was signed by Gov. Schwarzenegger. The bill requires persons convicted of identity theft to pay restitution to victims for costs of credit monitoring for a reasonable time and for economic losses.

The U.S. Senate is now focusing on small businesses with a new bill called H.R. 5297. This bill, the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010, would make it easier for entrepreneurs to start a new business and make capital investments. It also includes the self-employed health care deduction, which will provide huge savings and tax equity for business owners who are paying for their own health care expenses.

Kudos to Fresno City Councilmember Lee Brand for bringing forth the Labor Management Act to be voted on this Thursday (July 22 scheduled for 10:30 a.m.) by the council. This act will govern the rules for how the city negotiates all future agreements with public employee unions.

Instead of creating a banking regulation bill that will inflate the federal bureaucracy as well as the consumer cost of credit, Congress could have been bringing real relief to U.S. wallets.

As an employer, I understand the needs of my employees. Most reasonable employers know a productive worker is a happy worker, so they will do their best to accommodate the needs of the people who make the heart of any business.

State legislators are once again setting up roadblocks to economic recovery, this time taking direct aim at Proposition 13 by trying to make commercial property owners shell out more in taxes.

Kudos are due to Fresno County for diversifying its offerings to local employers under the 80/20 Program. The latest change gives employers a way to keep workers who would otherwise have to be laid off. This so-called "layoff aversion" program pays up to 80% of the cost to keep people employed who would otherwise be let go. Read about it here.
