I was surprised at how few I saw, so I drove around mid-town and counted those, too. I counted 19 American flags. I know many people fly the American flag daily,…
I can’t be silent on the two letters on evil building codes and their implications to this community. International Building Codes [IBC] are adopted about every three years by most municipalities. Note the word “international.” Most codes are common and widely adopted by virtually every state. It’s the enforcement that varies from none to tons….
To my town: I joined the chamber because I was involved in the business community and I love this town. I wanted to bring town businesses together, I wanted it to be fun like it used to be, where the business owners were a close-knit community who looked out for each other and worked to…
