The nation's largest business advocacy organization honored U.S. Rep. Tim Roemer today in recognition of his support for small businesses. Roemer was presented the award by Mark Eagan, President and CEO of the St. Joseph County Chamber of Commerce at a ceremony in South Bend.
Small businesses are the backbone of the economy in northern Indiana.
The north-central Indiana representative previously was honored by the Chamber for his 1997 voting record and also during earlier sessions of Congress. Among the votes cited by the Chamber when presenting Roemer with the award were his support for efforts to cut taxes, reduce excessive regulations, and legal reform.
