California is an increasingly expensive state in which to do business. The current movement afoot to significantly reform workers compensation policies is evidence of a deteriorating business climate. Given the current state budget crisis, there is a significant risk that the cost of doing business in California will become even more burdensome. Metro Investment Report was pleased to catch up with Joint Venture: Silicon Valley Network's Chairman of the Board Keith Kennedy at the recent California Civic Entrepreneurs Summit in Sacramento. In this interview, Kennedy discusses the reforms most needed to maintain and improve the state's business climate.
