Gov. Rendell will be giving a speech today at 4:30 p.m. to the membership of the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce.
The chamber calls it a "Conversation with the Governor."
One thing small businesses will want to know is how the Rendell administration's plans for health-care reform are changing.
Will small companies who don't offer health insurance to their employees have to contribute to a state-run or -sponsored program? If so, how will that be assessed? Will small companies that now offer health insurance dump their plans if that calculation proves to cost less than what they're paying currently?
And with California's Senate nixing major health-care reform in that state, what are the chances that Keystone state legislators will go forward with Rendell's Prescription for Pennsylvania plan?
If you're a chamber member, check out the Rendell address at the Kimmel Center's Perelman Theater, 260 S. Broad St. If not, it looks like WHYY-FM will broadcast it on Feb. 1.
