The city wants to cut red tape but it needs your help

City government says it wants to make it easier for you to run your business. But to do that, officials need to know what to change. And they want to hear from startup and small business owners what they think needs changing the most.
So city Comptroller Scott Stringer created the Red Tape Commission, a group of community leaders who will listen to business owners. The commission is making a stop in each borough, and will arrive in Brooklyn on Oct. 16 at Brooklyn Law School.

“For our city to continue to attract the best and brightest tech entrepreneurs, we need to understand what these businesses need to thrive here,” Stringer said through a spokesperson. “The Red Tape Commission is designed to do exactly that — it’s a platform for the tech sector to tell us directly how our City can help.”
The goal from there, Stringer said, is to “chart a roadmap for reform.”
Commission members include: Scott Gerber, founder of the Young Entrepreneur Council; Council Member Robert E. Cornegy, Jr.; Melissa Chapman of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce; Jonathan Butler of Brooklyn Flea; and more.
