Chicago small business advocate pushes for less red tape

(The Center Square) – Small Business Advocacy Council President Elliott Richardson prides himself on tirelessly pushing the envelope when it comes to making life more bearable for Chicago small business owners.

“Small businesses really could use a point person at City Hall to help them through the process,” Richardson told The Center Square. “If they’re denied a permit or a license, understanding the reason is important so that they can go and fix that as quickly as possible. Those are some of the things that could be done.”
