MARQUETTE -- Congressman Dan Benishek visited Getz's clothier in Marquette Friday.  It's all part of his plan to visit 100 businesses in 100 days.  Benishek is talking with owners about ways legislators can help grow business and create jobs.

Congressman Benishek visited Marquette General Hospital before stopping at Getz's.  He says business owners in Marquette are pleased with the growth of late, but there are still concerns.

"Some of the things we hear on the trail are issues with the regulations from the federal government make it difficult and more costly to do business, the uncertainty with the tax rates going forward make it difficult for people to decide whether to hire people or not and the uncertainty with Obama's healthcare plan," said Rep. Dan Benishek (R) 1st District.

Benishek headed to Fox Marquette dealership after Getz's and plans to make his way to Sault St. Marie Saturday.
