It’s A Close Call
I like the "lo c a l preference."
I like the idea that doing business
hxally is gocxJ for the community not
only long term, hut in the short run as
well But most o f all. it’ s g«xx! for me
I like shopping with folks I know, and
who know me I think I'm going lo get
a straight answer when I ask about
something because the hxal merchant
knows that if he leads me astray. he'll
have to look me in the eye when I come
back
The more o f my business that I do
lixaJIy. the stronger my l«xal merchant
Bv Ed Glenn
becomes The better selection he is able
to provide That better selection is
more likely to be the things I use and
ask the hxal merchant to provide And I know thai it's a h*t easier to get
satisfaction from a hxal merchant, mv neighbor, on those rare txcaMons
when I buy a defective piece o f merchandise
As a case in point. I have promiHcd economic growth in ihc Boardman
area, hoping to develop a broader retail merchandise selection " Y o u can't
even buy a dean pair o f s»x k ' in Boardman.'' I have complained W ell,
that is no longer true Anncipating the market tor clean wx ks. a hxal rner
chant now stixks them amt I have to find a new item to complain about
(Some say the s»xk inventory went in just to shut me up )
Even on those occasions when I do go ixit o f town. I buy the travel
gasoline hxally for all the above reasons
My own hxal preference has limits
I d«*n't do business with one or two hxal businesses, basing been
repeatedly stung without satisfaction Bad businessmen arc bad businessmen
no matter where they arc hxated and they do not deserve patronage at
all It may well be that they feel the same about me
The other limit is price I am r**t above buying something initsidc the
hxal business area when the total cost is significantly less The key words
arc “ total" and “ significant
It doesn't nuke a lot o f sense to spend $3 on gas and two hinirs o f driv
ing time to go to Tri Cities to save twenty cents on a loaf o f nread
Nor am I inclined to avoid the hxal nx-rchant to save one or two per
cent o f the total cost
But all o f this applies to me and my money If I was spending your
money. I'd probably be inclined to anticipate your feelings on hxal
preference and on the bounds o f the limits
The school hoard is considering a policy change in regards to investing
<xir tax moiK-v Dx* present policy requires "hxal preference" even th*>ugh
there might be other investux-nts outside the hxal area that would yield
more Die first reading o f this policy change passed on a split vote I can
surely understand why
It's a clone call
The increased investment income outside the hxal area might only
amount to $20-25.000 a year That might be considered insignificant in
a $6 ' million budget On the other hand, the hxal preference rule favors
hxal branches of state wide and multi state wide hanks that might not be
considered '' h x a l.' ’
Maybe all taxpayers in the district do not favor the hxal preference rule
like I do and maybe it isn't even appropriate when you're talking about
taxpayer money.
But having this amount o f money on deposit is prettv significant to a
hxal bank Having several, strong, competitive hxal banks can have an
important impact on the community The potential for good arising from
hxal deposit might lx- tar more valuable than the small difference in in
terest income.
A ll things considered, it's a close all
AS I
SEE IT
Happy Birthday
