I made my annual week-long visit to D.C. last week.  While I frequently communicate with legislators and regulators as part of my responsibilities as head of SMG’s Governmental Affairs group, my annual visit allows me to meet with various lawmakers and policy-makers in order to more fully understand upcoming issues and hot topics.  Over the next few weeks, I will provide some insights from my trip, including:

  • New information on the Bluegrass Economic Advancement Movement (BEAM) and other economic development issues;
  • The proposed REINS Act, which will have a dramatic impact on the regulatory process, if passed;
  • Some recommended reading; and
  • Budget and Tax Reform issues.
