Greg Baise, IMA president & CEO, testified as the keynote speaker on a panel that addressed the House Committee of the Whole this week and represented the IMA's opposition to the current capital infrastructure program. The IMA Board of Directors voted recently to oppose the current spending proposal noting that while the IMA and its manufacturing companies support good infrastructure (roads, bridges, rail, air, schools), the Governor's proposal is financed by risky revenue streams and lacks basic transparency for taxpayers.
