Representative Cindy Axne visited The Outside Scoop in Indianola Monday afternoon, looking for feedback on the needs and issues of small businesses in the district. Representative Axne tells KNIA News two of the biggest issues small businesses are continuing to struggle with despite a growing economy.

“We have a low unemployment rate, but we have a heck of a lot of people who aren’t making enough money to make ends meet. A lot of our wages aren’t living wages, they don’t provide folks an opportunity to find one job that can provide for their family, they have to work two or three jobs to make it work. So pay, and absolutely healthcare. Healthcare, in particular for our small businesses, it’s a struggle to find good healthcare for employees, and it’s a struggle for our small business owners to pay for it.”
