Jackson Mayor John Horhn spoke to the Rotary Club of Jackson this past Tuesday.
First of all, it’s great to have a mayor who visits civic clubs like Rotary to engage with constituents, especially engaged ones such as club members.
Sadly, civic club involvement has declined over the last 30 years, just one more bad effect of the rise in social media and tribal inclusiveness.

Across rural communities in the South, many entrepreneurs have the ideas, the work ethic, and the vision to build successful businesses. What they often lack is access to capital.
Communities Unlimited (CU), a nonprofit Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), is working to change that by helping small business owners secure the financing they need to start, stabilize, or grow their businesses. CDFIs are mission-driven lenders that focus on investing in communities and entrepreneurs that traditional financial institutions sometimes overlook.

I prefer local issues, but the recent international topics are driving everyone’s interest, so I’ll add my two bits.
Unlike many of my friends, I am not a fan of Trump’s personality. I would prefer a more genteel leader like Ronald Reagan. But Trump is the duly elected leader of our nation.
