RIO RANCHO'S MAYOR IS URGING RESIDENTS TO KEEP IT LOCAL THIS YEAR. GREG HULL SAYS SUPPORTING LOCAL BUSINESSES ALSO SUPPORTS NEIGHBORS AND THOSE THAT, IN TURN, OFFER RESOURCES TO RIO RANCHO SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES AND SPORTS TEAMS. HE SAYS THEY'RE COMMITTED TO TRY TO MAKE RIO RANCHO A BETTER PLACE BY OFFERING SERVICES THAT MIGHT NOT NORMALLY BE AVAILABLE.
IT ALSO MEANS THE GROSS RECEIPTS FOR THE CITY BENEFIT FROM LOCAL PURCHASES. "SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY" IS THIS WEEKEND, A TIME WHEN COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY ASK SHOPPERS TO SPEND THEIR MONEY WHERE THEY LIVE.
