Massachusetts business owners describe 'operational whiplash' despite tariff win

While the Supreme Court's ruling against the administration's tariffs is being celebrated as an upward shift, Massachusetts business owners are calling out the 'operational whiplash' of the past year. Sara Campbell, CEO of a 40-year-old Boston manufacturing firm, reported spending over $200,000 in surcharges, forcing a pivot toward overseas materials due to the lack of domestic fabric mills. Business leaders emphasized that while the ruling provides market certainty, it cannot undo the deep capital depletion experienced by small firms.
