The report, available at <a href="http://www.njprofoundation.org/pages/respa-4l8r.htm">NJPRO's website</a>, summarizes the results of a 249-respondent survey and one-on-one interviews with 29 business and economic development leaders. Additionally, we compile rankings of state business climates and highlight the business policies of five highly-rated states. </p> <p>NJPRO also makes 37 policy recommendations to help improve the state’s business climate – short- and long-term actions in areas such as tax, regulatory, infrastructure, health care and liability laws.</p> <p><img style="margin: 0px 30px 0px 0px;" alt="Sara Bluhm" src="http://www.njprofoundation.org/imgaes/sbluhmbio.jpg" align="left" width="125" height="188" /> This podcast features an interview about the report with NJPRO Executive Director <a href="http://www.njprofoundation.org/pages/sbluhm.htm">Sara Bluhm</a>. </p> <p>Sara is executive director and treasurer of the New Jersey Policy Research Organization and Assistant Vice President of Energy &amp; Federal Affairs for the New Jersey Business &amp; Industry Association. </p> <p>Ms. Bluhm has done extensive research on women and politics with an emphasis on leadership development.
