Joe Field of Flying Colors Comics has an excellent commentary in today's Contra Costa Times about the benefits of shopping at local merchants. When you purchase something in Concord a portion of the Sales Tax you pay helps fund city services. Buying locally also keeps our city's economy growing, providing jobs for our friends, neighbors and children. It's a timely reminder during this holiday gift giving season and I urge you to read it.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
