Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, one of the top GOP candidates seeking the presidency of the United States, spent over an hour discussing vital domestic and international issues with key members of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce on April 30, 2007, continuing the Chamber's new "San Diego Good Government" series. Romney, who served one term as Massachusetts' Governor from 2002 through 2006, spoke about how he focused on several issues during his term in office…the only political office he has held to date. He presided over statewide economic expansion and balanced the budget every year of his administration without raising taxes or increasing debt. His presentation to the chamber members outlined how his administration eliminated waste, streamlined the government, and added approximately 60,000 jobs in the last two years of his term.

Immigration Impacts on Business San Diego, CA – The Board of Directors of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce established a formal statement of principles on the impacts of immigration on business in San Diego, and took positions on charter review and the FY 2008 budget in the City of San Diego during its most recent monthly meeting. After a nearly year long dialogue concerning the impacts of immigration on the local business environment, the Board unanimously approved a statement of principles that reflected the depth of the organization's study and a pragmatic approach to an issue that is often discussed in terms of culture, politics and emotion-charged debate. The process included a high-level seminar in the June 2006, followed by in-depth task force interviews with business, industry, government and labor leaders. The resulting working paper was discussed by five of the Chamber's public policy committees and its Mexico Business Center for several months, and the board adopted the summarized statement of principles at the April meeting.
