We are having some great weather this week, and the weekend is supposed to be just as good. I hope you get out and enjoy it.

Today, we honor the memory of those we lost on 9/11 and salute the courage of the heroes who risked everything.

I hope you're doing well. Please enjoy this week's newsletter which includes the following topics:

Sales tax-free week begins Sunday and offers a great opportunity to do some back-to-school shopping and of course, save some money in the process.

I hope you're all doing well. We have some warm days ahead, so let's remember to stay cool and hydrated. I am pleased to share that our state has joined the U.S. Department of Energies Better Climate Challenge.
