Scott W. Lang

Attorney Scott W. Lang, the former Mayor of the City of New Bedford, will be speaking at the New Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce’s Government Affairs Committee meeting on Friday, January 11. Lang’s discussion will focus on the South Coast Rail project and other Massachusetts infrastructure projects. 

I sincerely appreciate Chapter 499 Vietnam Veterans asking me to speak this afternoon as part of the Vietnam Veterans’ Recognition Day Program. This is the seventh time that I have had the honor of speaking at this event.

More importantly, it is a tremendous privilege to have worked on a constant basis with the Vietnam Veterans of Chapter 499 and all of our veterans and veteran organizations, on issues that affect veterans and their families in New Bedford and throughout our nation.

Appropriate, and carefully drafted government regulations create necessary parameters in all facets of our complex society. Unfortunately, in many instances, regulations which are archaic, or not well-grounded, stunt economic development opportunities, resulting in job loss, and thwart new growth potential for our communities. Fortunately though, business owners voice their specific concerns about onerous regulations, and our elected officials constructively respond, but, as we know, regulatory change comes very slowly, if at all. However, something very positive is happening in Massachusetts. Our government is taking action to cut bureaucratic red tape and our business community is working enthusiastically to assist in the effort to make Massachusetts more business friendly.
