We need to see Cedar Rapids move up this List folks ...

The College of Business at Creighton University on Facebook linked the following article on Small Business in the USA. I lived in Omaha, while in college and when I worked in public accounting, before returning to Cedar Rapids to work in our two small businesses. It is too bad that the business climate in Cedar Rapids isn't stronger right now.

Robin B. Tucker is ...

a community minded individual living in District 2 Cedar Rapids and District 2 Iowa. I have a strong interest in public policy. I served on the Local Home Rule Charter Commission in 2004-05. I am a proponent for Limited Spending, Limited Government, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. I ran for District 2 Cedar Rapids in 2007. I want to see unity develop again in our community. Cedar Rapids is a community. Most wouldn't consider our community Rural, but to suggest it's Urban would be wrong. I had the pleasure of chairing in Linn County the volunteer effort for Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks for U.S. Congress. Feel free to contact me, if you want to know Why I say it that way in this Blog or would like to discuss matters?

Think, say or do ...

The Four-Way Test of the things we think, say or do

THIRD: Will it build GOODWILL & BETTER FRIENDSHIP?

FOURTH: Will it be BENEFICIAL to all
concerned?
