Bob Ehrlich To Announce Small Business Initiative

ANNAPOLIS -- Bob Ehrlich will announce on Monday a small business initiative to help revitalize Maryland’s economy, which has suffered from a doubling of the unemployment rate since 2006 and the closure of 3,000 small businesses in the last year. The announcement comes after eight weeks of public discussions Ehrlich has convened with more than 100 entrepreneurs in Maryland. Small businesses in Maryland represent 98% of employers, employ 1.2 million workers, and boast a combined payroll of nearly $50 billion.
