Relationship Marketing In Action
Like so many people nowadays, I was feeling a little uneasy about how the current and future state of our economy would impact my retirement. Horror stories about people who have lost their life savings or have seen their investments plummet left me and my husband worried that our nest egg would go the way of Humpty Dumpty, so we scheduled a planning session with our financial advisor to ensure our egg wouldn’t fall off the proverbial wall. It had been a while since we’d seen our advisor, so … [Read more...] about Relationship Marketing In Action

I am proposing a change that exempts family owned corporations or LLCs from paying sales tax on leases with the family. Sidewalk Repairs The way the City … [Read more...] about Proposed Changes to City Ordinances
