Small businesses are at a disadvantage due to sweeping tariffsMARYLAND, – Senator Angela Alsobrooks, Congressman Glenn Ivey, and Senator Chris Van Hollen hosting a virtual town hall Tuesday evening in a with the focus on helping small businesses in Maryland. During the town hall, Senator Alsobrooks emphatically stated that their ongoing struggle is far from over. Senator Chris Van Hollen “That includes access to capital for those who work with the federal government, it means navigating a tough federal contracting process, and of course, workforce.” Senator Chris Van Hollen, however, contends that these specific actions have resulted in the isolation of small business owners, thus placing them at a disadvantage. “Make sure the Trump administration can’t eviscerate the federal agencies that are responsible for enforcement, and the federal agencies that are supposed to help small businesses.”
