What Happens When the Business Community Unites Around a Strong Plan? What happens when the business community unites around a strong plan? MISSOURI CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY Progress! Since the launch of Missouri 2030: An Agenda to Lead, the Missouri Chamber Foundation has been on a mission to unite the business community behind a statewide, data-driven, solutions-oriented strategy of policy and program recommendations to reposition our state as a global Progress! economic leader. We are starting to see significant return on this effort. These recommendations helped define the 2017 legislative session, one of the most productive in recent history. In addition, Missouri 2030 is behind progress in other statewide initiatives, especially in the area of workforce development. You can find more details about this work in the pages that follow. Missouri 2030 is a comprehensive effort to provide leadership, direction and a long-range economic development plan for the state of Missouri. It puts Missouri’s business community in charge of the economic fate of our state by driving collaboration around a long-term plan that transcends political cycles and sets transparent metrics and benchmarks that will hold leaders accountable for progress. To create Missouri 2030, the Missouri Chamber Foundation hired Gallup and one of the nation’s best economic development strategists, Ted Abernathy, to analyze our state’s economic position. We talked to site selectors, economic developers and more than 1,000 of Missouri’s top CEOs and business leaders to learn about our economic strengths and weaknesses. Our findings were disturbing. Based on Gallup’s research and comparable economic data, we concluded that Missouri was falling behind. Without unified, statewide business leadership and ambitious new efforts, our state’s economic performance was not going to improve. In fact, Missouri’s position would likely get worse compared with other states that were actively addressing employers’ needs. So the Missouri Chamber Foundation focused on four drivers that could make the most impact on our economy: • Preparing the Workforce • Connecting Through Infrastructure • Competing for Jobs • Uniting the Business Community The focus is working. Missouri 2030 has provided a sense of urgency to the business community and policymakers. The plan has sparked action to enact long-overdue change in economic policy. More important, because Missouri 2030 was written with an eye toward long-term, statewide improvement, the plan will continue to fuel positive change for years to come. We still have a long way to go to get to the Missouri we all want and expect. Missouri 2030: An Agenda to Lead is how we get there. Sincerely, Daniel P. Mehan President/CEO 3 4 The Missouri Chamber Foundation is providing the leadership and direction our state needs to compete through Missouri 2030. The implementation of a clear, data-driven, long-term plan is critical to the future of our state. The Missouri Chamber’s investment in “Missouri 2030 is already making a difference. – Dennis Vinson, Owner Signature Packaging” and Paper Table of Contents Accomplishments: Uniting the Business Community ........................................................

After years of electing legislators who blocked Gallup also asked what they believed Missouri labor and tort reforms, voters elected a new slate of policymakers should do to fix these problems. lawmakers who would finally break the logjam on these issues. Missouri 2030 is built on that input. More important, the plan continues to be guided by Missouri’s business community. Hundreds of Missouri’s most influential 6 MEASURING OUR PROGRESS We’ve launched an interactive, online Missouri 2030 Dashboard to measure progress with our plan through key metrics and economic success. The Dashboard is designed to provide clear metrics, transparency and accountability on more than 30 different economic areas. It is updated as data becomes available and is accessible 24/7. By measuring our progress in these key areas, we will hold policymakers accountable. To view more economic metrics, go to: www.mochamber.com/dashboard 7 I want to thank the Missouri Chamber for stepping up with the Missouri 2030 strategic plan. They are the ones who can provide the research and pull the whole state together.

  • Missouri (2014)
    Missouri (2014) Title of Ballot Measure: Missouri Temporary Sales Tax Increase for Transportation Type: House Joint Resolution 68/ Amendment 7 Sponsor of Legislation: Representatives Dave Hinson (R-119) and Dave Schatz (R-61) Election Cycle: August 5, 2014 Status of Amendment: Failed. ELECTION RESULTS FOR 40.82% AGAINST 59.19% Summary of Legislation: HJR 68 was introduced in the Missouri House of Representatives on January 22, 2014 by Representatives Dave Hinson (R-119) and Representative Dave Schatz (R-61). The measure proposed raising the state sales tax from 4.25 cents to 5 cents for a period of ten years to fund transportation projects throughout the state. The proposal would have generated a total $5.4 billion in revenue during its duration, with $480 million per year going toward state transportation improvements and $54 million per year going toward local projects. The amendment would have prohibited fuel tax increases and tolls during this time and ensured that generated revenue would be used solely for transportation purposes. Without this measure, officials at the Missouri Department of Transportation project their budget will drop from $700 million to $325 million by 2017, well below what is needed to maintain and improve the state’s roads and bridges. It would have been the first statewide tax increase since 1993, as well as the first tax increase for road funding since 1992. HJR 68 passed the House on April 9, 2014 96-53 and was sent to the Senate. A substitute bill lowering the originally-proposed 1-cent sales tax increase to .75-cents— as well as prohibiting state and local tolls on roads or bridges during the proposed amendment’s duration— was introduced and approved by the Senate 22-10 on April 29, before being returned back to the House where it was approved for the ballot on May 14 105-43.

  • 2014 Year End Report
    1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2014 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies ‐‐ from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more ‐‐ that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 18 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon during 2014. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners.
