Greetings!

Halloween prep: are we looking for your best impressions? No. Just speak your truth - normal voice. This past week, the City Council unveiled its first run at the proposed Minimum Wage Ordinance (click on "text" at this link). Check it out and call your Councilmembers to give input. They need to hear from us. Also think specifically about what would help your business as you work to accomplished this like property tax relief, access to capital, healthcare pooling... See what ESABA members are talking about.

Throughout this month the City is hosting Voices of Our Community conversations on equity and city services. They'll be here at the East Side Enterprise Center talking Economic Development so plan to attend and speak up. We are more powerful when we raise our voices, hear each other, and find ways to work together. Join us!
Voices of Our Community - Join us in October and November across the city at Input Sessions to help shape the future of Saint Paul by learning about the city's equity work, then provide feedback on how we can best move forward together. Each session will be focused on particular topics and will be facilitated by Saint Paul city departments.
