President Dan Johnson has the complete support of this board and all its members.

Business Matchmaking gives us yet another avenue to support small business owners. We provide a tech center at each event, which offers Internet access, printing facilities and staffers to answer any questions small business owners may have as they prepare for their one-on-one appointments.

If they support it, we'll do whatever we can to make it happen.

We were in strong support of the intent of this bill, but, I'm sad to say, it currently is a step back for surface owners.

I'm getting lots of support and also lots of backlash.
