THE ARGUS FOUNDATION

The Argus Foundation is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, business membership-based organization in Sarasota County. Established in 1983, we are a think tank and government watchdog. Our founders were concerned about an anti-business climate in government and wanted to make sure they had a pure, unified business voice that was unfiltered by government, but solution-oriented and collaborative. Argus was born out of the founders' concern for future generations... We have a diverse membership representing dozens of industries. Our member companies come from sectors including, but not limited to, healthcare, law, architecture, contracting, manufacturing, aeronautics, banking, certified public accounting, hospitality, farming, education, and others. We require our member businesses to be represented by CEOs or other high-level executives and decision makers... In 2017, we worked on opposing a proposal for a county Public Service Tax, which would have levied a 5 percent tax on electricity, water,..
