It should be a minimum of 75%. Any contract or bid that can be performed to specifications by a local company who submits a competitive bid should be done locally. For instance there was no advetising/pr firm in Coloorado Springs that could have handled the PR job for SDS. Why did that $742,000 have to go to Denver, although it could be argued it shouldn’t have been spent. This is one more example of why we need a professional board of directors overseeing Colorado Springs utitllities. TheCity Council can’t go they job.

So what are Memorial and the City itself doing along these same lines? Does it occur to anyone on city council that spending more of our tax dollars locally helps our local economy?
