BLUE RIBBON COUPONS

If we've learned anything from the shutdown, it's that local businesses and local residents need to bond together. Our officials favor larger companies, allow them the ability to remain open during difficult times, and are more inclined to bail them out when things head south. Local business depends on the patronage of their neighborhood residents to stay afloat. These business owners are our neighbors. Their kids go to school with your kids, they coach our baseball leagues, shop where we shop, and fix our cars so we can get around. When problems arise, you'll often deal with the owner of the company, rather than an employee who has little interest in whether or not you return again.
