2020 AL Senatorial race: on Corporations


John Merrill: Same-day service: government at the speed of business

Merrill urged fiscal responsibility, and pointed to his opponents. "You ask the other candidates how you push back against record spending, 'Where have you been?' Ask how they've cut their budget, how they've cut staff," he said. "Because you're not going to get a positive answer from somebody who expanded the court system. You're not going to get that answer from somebody who has been in Congress who has been a part of the swamp. And you're not going to get that answer from an athletic administrator football coach who says I need more coaches and more money. You're not going to get that answer from them."

According to Merrill, he had, in fact, cut his operation to do more with less by downsizing his staff from 49 to 36 and significantly expedited business filings that once ranged from taking seven to nine months before confirming receipt, to same-day service. "We're not operating at the speed of government anymore," he added. "We're operating at the speed of business."
