Money Safe in Idaho
Thanks to Carlas Brown for arranging our program last week. Ron Bjorkman introduced Mary Hughes, Financial Institutions Bureau Chief at the Idaho Department of Finance. Mary is an attorney with a very impressive resume....including that she lived in Emmett for a while years ago! She admitted that in these trying economic times, her visit to our Rotary Club was one of the "happiest" meetings she'd been to in a long time! She explained that compared to other states, Idaho financial institutions are in good shape - that they've stuck to the basics of conservatvce, sound underwriting. Her conclusion: "There is no place safer for your money than in an insured institution in Idaho." (Now I feel much better)
