Response to Blueprint for a Safer Economy

by Maria S. Salinas

“We are pleased that Governor Newsom has taken a pragmatic approach to reopening California businesses in order to jump start the economy,” said Maria S. Salinas, President & CEO, Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce. “We are also concerned how this roadmap may affect businesses already struggling and must remain closed. The Chamber will continue its efforts to ensure those businesses have the support they need to make it through this already difficult time. This step by the Governor is important because it leverages prior attempts to restart the economy as a guidepost, which will ensure our economy will have fewer starts-and-stops. With these guidelines, businesses will need the support of government and of every Californian to follow the health orders so we can all safely return to work.”
