Your 2011 Return on Investment

In this annual financial impact assessment, learn what the Indiana Chamber’s lobbying efforts at the Statehouse mean to your wallet.

On the offense, highlights included the Chamber helping to score a 2% drop in the state’s corporate income tax rate, an overhaul of the state’s unemployment system, plus a more common sense approach to authorizing public-private partnerships for transportation infrastructure projects. When playing defense, the Chamber worked to block health care insurance mandates, a significant increase in property taxes for businesses and the piling on of environmental compliance fees.

In total, the Chamber’s work yielded savings of $1.91 billion for Hoosier businesses OR $814 per employee. Specific savings are available here by bill and issue area, in total and per employee.
