Small Business Owners Defy Chamber, Support Financial Reform

Small business owners, by a more than two-to-one margin, support the kind of financial reforms being sought by the Obama administration and back the creation of a consumer financial protection agency, according to a poll conducted by the Main Street Alliance, which represents entrepreneurs in 16 states. That runs counter to the message of business opposition to financial reform being promoted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Jeanne Boiseneau, who owns a movie casting agency in Richmond, Va., discussed the poll and her views on financial reform in this interview.
