Jon Cooper, former Suffolk County Legislature majority leader and a resident of Lloyd Harbor, recently joined with several other business leaders from across the country at a closed-door meeting of the Senate Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee.
Cooper said, "The business roundtable provided an opportunity to discuss strategies to empower the American middle class. All of the business leaders agreed that their successes were largely attributed to policies that provide good benefits and above-minimum wage pay for their employees."
About 20 senators participated in the roundtable discussion, including Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, Mark Begich, Maria Cantwell, Richard Durbin, Chris Coons, Kay Hagan, Richard Blumenthal and Jeanne Shaheen.
