U.S. Congressman Robert Dold will address the business community at a multi-Chamber luncheon attended by members of the Buffalo Grove, DBR, Glencoe, Glenview, Highland Park, Highwood, Lincolnshire, Northbrook and Wilmette Chambers.Currently in his first term, Rep. Dold represents the 10th District of Illinois, which stretches along Lake Michigan, from Waukegan to Wilmette and includes nearly 700,000 constituents on the North Shore. Dold is a member of the House Financial Services Committee, and serves on several subcommittees which have jurisdiction over important sectors of the economy, including International monetary policy and trade.
Rep. Dold was the first freshmen in his class to pass legislation, the FHA Refinance Program Termination Act. The bill, which received bipartisan support, would save taxpayers $8.12 billion by eliminating an ineffective mortgage restructuring program. The bill is currently pending before the Senate.
Rep. Dold also sponsored legislation that would help ease the reporting requirements placed on businesses under the recently enacted health care bill and also supported companion legislation to enact malpractice litigation reform. Rep. Dold is a co-sponsor of an act that would eliminate the requirement of business owners who spend $600 or more a year in goods and services to issue a 1099 tax form to the Internal Revenue Service. “This is one of the hurdles that the government is putting in front of small businesses and I believe it will have a devastating effect,” Dold said recently.
Dold is also an original co-sponsor of legislation to establish a commission to conduct a review of cost control in the federal government every two years aimed at improving management and reducing costs.
Some of the topics he is expected to address include his views on reforms for the recently enacted health care law, the impact of rising energy costs on the economic recovery, efforts to address federal spending and his priority of eliminating barriers to jobs creation in the district.
Previous to his election, Rep. Dold ran a small business, Rose Pest Solutions headquartered in Northfield, the oldest pest management company in the nation. He is one of 33 new members of Congress who are entrepreneurs and small business owners.
Rep Dold has an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management and a law degree from the Indiana University. He resides in Winnetka.
