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 [1], 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.
