Issue Position: Making RI "Business Friendly"

Issue Position

Rep. Craven prioritizes making Rhode Island a "business-friendly" state. Bob serves as Chair of the House Committee on Municipal Government. This puts him in the best position to improve how municipalities function and personally oversee their power to tax and regulate. He helped lower RI's corporate tax to the lowest rate New England, with hopes of bringing jobs to Rhode Island and strengthening our economy. However, more work needs to be done to bring businesses here. Next term, he intends on eliminating bureaucratic "red tape" so that small businesses and citizens alike can work with the cities and towns without getting the proverbial "runaround." We need a comprehensive review of municipal regulations, taxes, and fees imposed by local governments. Our government should be encouraging small business, not hampering it.
