"CPAC" (Chamber Political Action Committee)

This committee will be the leading voice of business in Newberry.  Issues will be defined by members and brought before our city government.  A high standard of professionalism will be adhered to when advocating our position.

The City of Newberry is facing critical decisions regarding the direction of growth for our city, traffic constraints with failing road concurrency, extreme reduction in revenue due to proposed tax roll-backs, and many other issues. At no other time in the city’s history do we find such important issues brought forth at the same time.
 
The City Commission represents the people. Our input is essential for them to act in a manner which reflects the desires of the citizens and businesses. It is not uncommon to hear dissatisfaction among citizens and businesses about decision being made by our city government. But we do have a voice, and we need to be organized in promoting our positions as business men and women.
 
While the issues will come and go, the ongoing interest of this PAC is to educate our city commission about where our business community stands on related issues. It is our desire to work WITH them in a cooperative manner. The Chamber of Commerce has always enjoyed a great working relationship with them and they have always supported our projects such as the directory and maps. We will continue to set the standard for such cooperation.
