Steve Clark on Agenda for Leadership
“Massachusetts’ restaurants are cornerstones of our communities, yet too often they struggle under the weight of high costs and outdated policies. Agenda for Leadership 2026 recognizes the need for practical reforms, whether it’s fixing unemployment insurance, addressing energy costs, or creating a more supportive regulatory environment. These recommendations would give restaurants and their employees the stability they need to keep serving our neighborhoods and driving local economies.”
