Thank you to Shad from Windham and other members of the National Federation of Independent Business for meeting with me to discuss the challenges small businesses are facing across our state. As the author of the Paycheck Protection Program, which supported 250,000 jobs in Maine, I know how vital small businesses are to our communities and local economies, and I appreciate NFIB’s work to ensure their voices are heard.
