I would say to them like everybody else that loses their jobs, look for better employment.

With many new, higher paying jobs and diverse companies, our area's economic climate remains strong and is truly beyond compare.

This is the first year that we have done anything like this. The kids are really into their jobs. Every student ran for an elected position. They made posters and gave speeches.

The jobs for women were next to nothing, ... I can't stand on my feet for a long time. And so if you tell 'em you can't do this, you can't do that, they figure your reliability or you could get worse and they don't want to hire you.

Of all the committees I've ever served on, it's the absolute best professional experience I've ever had. There's just no comparison.

From here, we do the public campaign. We get the businesses who've said they'll give that haven't yet, to finish giving what they're going to give. And we go to the city commission again and say please get this on your agenda and adopt this.
