Governments don’t build towns. People do. Nowhere is that more evident than our small towns where it’s pretty obvious that it’s local entrepreneurs that keep the wheels of progress rolling in the right direction.

That’s why it’s so important that we the people do everything we can to keep the government operating within its bounds, hold our elected representatives accountable and support our neighbors in every way we can to help local businesses grow.

That’s why one of our own has established The Evergreen Defense Fund to help local businesses with the legal fees and other costs associated with ensuring they can defend themselves when the system breaks down.

Please help us save a small business. Whether you’re a business owner or patron, we all lose when someone has to close their doors because they couldn’t afford to fight a corrupt bureaucracy.
