Before Deciding

When our representatives are making important decisions that impact all of our lives I believe it is important to ask one basic question before making
those decisions,
Is this good for
the children?

Just imagine what our world would be like if that question was asked prior to making decisions about going to war, the environment, education or healthcare.

Our Featured Presentations

1.  Susan Jensen shares the concerns and steps her company, considered essential to stay open during the Shelter-in-Place order, has taken on protecting her company's six employees and the customers they visit on plumbing calls.  Susan also talks of the process she went through to procure a Small Business Loan through her bank and the federal online sites as advised by her accountant and local bank loan officer. She reports that the company did not receive any service calls the first three weeks of social distancing orders, and then, as the need became too great for those with stopped up sewers or broken pipes, the calls began to come in, but still business is slow.  Economy Plumbing is a member of GoLocal, which helps with marketing their essential presence in the community.

About our Guest:  Susan Jensen is co-owner of Economy Plumbing for 20 years and the company has been serving Sonoma County customers for 40 years. Susan was raised in Sonoma County by her mom Elaine, the host of this show. Susan is an avid Soccer player and competes around the state. She lives in Santa Rosa with her husband David, and is the mother of two children and is also a new grandmother.

2.  Janeen Murray discusses how locally owned businesses are vital for the local economy, allowing the money paid for goods and services to recirculate in the community.  GoLocal is a collective of locally owned businesses, and you can see the GoLocal logo on many of their storefronts.  The local business members are listed in the quarterly print catalog and in the directory of GoLocal's website, so whenever a county resident needs a particular service or goods a visit to the website and search will bring up the possibilities of dealing locally. Many small businesses are expanding their services to adapt to the virus precautions in place to include curbside pickups, food carryout, and even store-to-door delivery.

About our Guest: Janeen Murray started out as a junior high and high school teacher for several years, then for the next decade she managed Operations and Marketing at two local companies. Then spending 10 years as GoLocal's Co-Manager and Board Member, she now serves as Executive Director. She also manages Sustaining Technologies, LLC, and both organizations work together to provide marketing consulting and resources for locally owned businesses, and to remind the public the importance of going local. Janeen also serves as a member of the Sonoma County Food System Alliance and plays accordion in the Hubbub Club street band.
