Policy Statements
The Chamber's Policy Statements are a set of official positions and recommendations that reflect the views of the Chamber of Commerce on various public policy issues. These statements were developed by the Chamber's Policy Committee, which is composed of experts and stakeholders from various industries and sectors.
Energy Policy
The Greater Lansing region is powered by several utility suppliers—statewide power providers like Consumers Energy (CMS Energy), alternative energy suppliers (AES), and Lansing’s municipally owned utility, the Lansing Board of Water and Light (LBWL). Energy policy for our state should improve our economic competitiveness. It should also provide access to safe and reliable power for all user classes.
Education Policy
The Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce believes every student should have the diverse skills that prepare them for success in life, career and his or her post K-12 education, propelling economic prosperity for themselves and for the Greater Lansing region. An effective, efficient and accountable K-12 education system is critical to growing and strengthening our students and the talent pipeline for employers.
Tax & Economic Policy
The Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce operates on the basic premise that taxation should fund essential government services and any additional tax should be levied only in special circumstances. We believe budget shortfalls in all levels of government, local governments in particular, should be addressed by reorganizing priorities and reducing spending before tax increases are considered.
