Last month, the West Orange Commerce of Chamber’s Economic and Governmental Advocacy Committee hosted West Orange legislative delegation members for “Coffee & A Conversation with our West Orange Legislative Delegation.” The event was held at the Chamber, and participants were provided with an opportunity to have candid conversations regarding their priorities for the 2025 State Legislative Session.

Panelists included Representative Bruce Antone, District 41; Representative Douglas M. Bankson, District 39; Representative LaVon Bracy Davis, District 40; Representative Jennifer “Rita” Harris, District 44; and Representative Leonard Spencer, District 45.

During the event, panelists were able to share their legislative priorities for the upcoming session. Additionally, the West Orange Chamber of Commerce offered their priorities which include, repeal of the school start time legislation set to take effect in 2026, opposition to the expansion of the use of Tourist Development Tax (TDT) revenue beyond its intended statutory purpose, and the continued Incremental Reduction of Taxes Imposed on Rental or License Fees.

With a vast, diverse West Orange County that encompasses some of the top tourist destinations and businesses in the State, the West Orange Chamber of Commerce stands ready to advocate for our members and facilitate opportunities to meet with our esteemed legislators and other elected officials to discuss issues of importance to the businesses and communities that comprise our membership.
