Exactly - the politicos do what they do best, i.e. spout meaningless pap, and fail to back it up with real actions that would make the difference to small business on everyday needs like bonding and access to capital. I worked for a company for 17 years that manufactured architectural metalwork for commercial construction and we fought this battle on a regular basis.
If you can’t be bonded you have no business bidding the job!!
purchasing performance bonds aren’t that expensiuve and if you don’t have the capitol or assets to qualify you don’t belong in the business!
