Counting down to the Geico five hundred race today also a whole bunch of other stories, including this. The job network is ramping up pressure of MLB, commissioner, Rob Manfred over his decision to pull the all star game out of Atlanta. They have a Times square billboard that will go up tomorrow, explaining the to it will take on small businesses as theyre fighting to recover from Covid 19 lockdowns here is Elaine Parker Chief Communications officer for the job creators network Elaine thanks so much for being here this morning, youre going on the offense hey, Mr Commissioner, if you do this, move this out of Atlanta to Denver? Well call you out, for it are you hopeful? Maybe they reconsider the decision, thanks for having me PETE, we call them like. We see them, and the commissioner clearly has all strikes and no balls. We put up the billboard in Times Square think about it

strikes one gave into the woke crowd and misinformation about lies about the Georgia voting law. Two. He made the decision to move the game out of Georgia based on false information. Third, he cost the state one hundred dollars million, mainly hurting minority businesses were here to demand. He bring the game back to the state of Georgia, because three strikes youre out PETE. True good point: you talk about the dem of course, Grays Atlanta Denver. We have a demographic who it would be affecting moving the game in the city of Atlanta. You have a fifty one percent black population, the city of Denver, not even over ten percent. When you move the business out with millions of dollars of economic impact, youre taking away benefit of black Americans in Atlanta and shifting it to white businesses in Denver Atlanta, you mentioned fifty one percent. There are nine times black owned businesses in Atlanta than in Denver

as much as they are following all of this misinformation and perpetuating all of these lies theyre actually hurting the very people they claim to be helping. Overall, small businesses in Atlanta will be hurt. We spoke with minority owned small business owner who has a limo business. He was very excited about this game coming to Atlanta, getting his employees back to work, and now he is not only worried about losing this this event, but future events that may not stay in Atlanta may decide to go elsewhere, based on misinformation, PETE im glad such knee jerk nonsense from major league baseball. We talked about the small businesses impacted, not to mention the voter integrity. Laws are more stringent in Denver than Atlanta. You cant make up the entirety of this story. I wonder if he ever admits his mistake, giving him every opportunity to do so. Real, quick Elaine this week will mark Joe Bidens first one hundred

days in office. It has been a tough one hundred days for small businesses from covid lockdowns to regulations, theyre talking about increasing taxes, what Keystone XL pipeline certain sectors being targeted. What is the your evaluation of small business in America in the first one hundred days of Joe Biden, the first one hundred days of the Biden Administration has been a declaration of war on small businesses. The policies out of this administration are rapid fire against small businesses, theyre costing jobs, raising energy prices, making it harder to find workers and operate their businesses. But by far as you mentioned, PETE, the biggest threat to small businesses is the increase in taxes and even the support of the pro act, which, frankly has so many negatives were actually calling. Is the con act million of small businesses out there structured as corporations, and they will face a thirty three percent tax increase coming out of the worst pandemic. Weve ever seen, millions of small businesses

shut down across the country as theyre coming out, were starting to reopen many states, you know are open one hundred percent theyre going to face these huge tax increases and they just it is not fair. These. This is bad policy, hurts small businesses, hurts workers, hurts our economy, PETE Well said Elaine, Parker, chief communications officer for the job creates network. Thank you for your time.
