I came across this website (pictured below) today while looking for a local business to help with a pool issue I am having. I wanted to give them my money, I wanted to pay them and become a loyal customer, but could never do so after what I saw. This problem goes way beyond this […]
Scott Brown, the former Massachusetts Senator, had a pretty interesting weekend…and for the rest of us, we still don’t know what happened. Before the elections last year, it was quite apparent that most of Brown’s tweets were crafted and sent out by his staffers. However, after he lost the election to Elizabeth Warren, it seemed […]

This event took place at Eastern Arizona College for the small business owners of the Thatcher, Safford and Gila Valley Arizona area. I […]
