At the Chamber of Commerce’s first ever “Meet the Candidates” forum, the business community got a chance to hear from the Candidates for City Council last month. Equally important, the Candidates got a chance to listen to the concerns of business leaders.
Candidates were all seated at tables in the hall at the Irish American Club where they shared breakfast and ideas. The program allowed each candidate two minutes to introduce themselves and to answer the question: “What is the role of the City in promoting business in Malden?” There was much talk about taxes, especially the Local Meals Tax enacted last year by the City of Malden. Several of the Candidates praised the Malden Restaurant Owner/Operators Association [MROA] for promoting Malden as a dining destination. Many noted their own backgrounds in the business world.
