Episode 339: Election Interrupted. What The New Election Environment Counld Mean For Operators

The Working Lunch

We are joined by Colm O’Comartum, the co-founder of public affairs firm 50-State and the former head of the Democratic Governors Association to get his take on the new dynamics of the presidential election and what that means for the top of the ticket as well as Congress, Governors and state legislatures. I think you’ll enjoy his perspective. And the courts - whether Supreme, federal, or district - have turned our regulatory environment upside down in the last few months. How should the business community react to the new environment and does it change which branch of government should be our focus? We are joined by Angelo Amador, Senior Vice President, Legal Advocacy & Regulatory Counsel for the National Restaurant Asociation - and the head of the Restaurant Law Center - to help us unwind this new knot and give us his insight on what our regulatory relationship with the federal government may look like going forward. We’ll talk about those issues and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
