8(Pro-Jobs-continued from coverpage)team has worked hard in stopping badlegislation aligned with the “job killer”agenda.In 2005, bills to enact minimum wageincreases with automatic indexing,business property tax increases, vehicleuser taxes, port fees and employerpaidhealth care were amo ng those ultimately vetoed orotherwise stopped. The net effect spared employers morethan $29 billion in negative economic impact.But that’s only half the story. Sponsoring good legislation— such as workers’ compensation reform, transportationfunding, air quality/alternative fuels legislation and tourismfunding — made the “Total Legislative Return” even moreimpressive last year, climbing to more than $49 billion.There lies the importance of the task at hand: building a projobsmajority in the Legislature enables a shift in posture —from defensive to offensive — to sponsor more legislationthat expands the job base.ChamberPAC, the Chamber’s bipartisan political actioncommittee, is aggressively working to enable this shift inthis election cycle. Charged with identifying and supportingbusiness-friendly candidates in campaigns with significantelection potential, ChamberPAC has an 82 percent successrate of ensuring they have the resources to shout their jobsfocusedmessages and sway voters.But building visibility and momentum for candidates who’llchampion creating jobs and foster a healthy business climateis not an easy task, especially given the overflowing warchest of the job-killer opposing forces.Don’t Forget To VoteTuesdayJune 6, 2006Top Five Viewed Pages(excluding member pages)1.2.3.4.5.Home PageCategorical PagesJanuary 2006 NewsletterCommunity InformationEmployment ListingsWebsite Statistics January-April 2006Top Ten Requested Member Pages Total Page Views1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.Nellson Nutraceutical (1190)Pomona Valley Mining Company (390)SCE Federal Credit Union (314)Charter Communications (251)San Gabriel Training Center (230)City of Irwindale (222)Ashwill Associates (200)Source One Staffing (195)Autronics (187)Key Brands International (178)January 2006 - 17,413February 2006 - 16,105March 2006 – 21,888April 2006 – 17,006You can add a 100-word announcement onyour web page.Describe your business or services in 100words by using keywords that will bringclients to your page as they search the site.Submit to veronica@irwindalechamber.org
