Summit Rotary President Koorosh Zahrai (L) visits with State Chamber of Commerce Executive Vice President of Government & Political Affairs, Mike Jackson (R), and Nicole Boyles(C), State Chamber of Commerce Vice President of Strategic Partners after the December 19th meeting. Mike and Nicole presented the State Chamber of Commerce assessment of the 2017-18 budget and appropriations for the state. They also discussed the roles the Chamber plays in relaying interests of state business into the appropriations made by the legislature for coming years. The chamber also scrutinizes  how money is spent and tries to hold accountable the various agencies charged with those funds.  Through their efforts a greater degree of efficiency using our tax dollars is graphically realized.
