Really Rexburg.

The national economic climate is changing. American maintain less and less confidence in our once internationally envied fiscal situation. We are beginning to see the effects in our day-to-day lives as friends and neighbors lose their employment and consequently their homes and are forced to seek alternative circumstances.

This issue is no longer a mere subject for dinner table fodder or for disconnected politicians, but a new reality that forces us to reexamine our financial choices and ultimately our values and basic instincts.

Over the next 12 weeks I will observe the Rexburg Economy and chronicle my findings in several mediums including print, broadcasting, and blog posts.

I will focus on the negative economic current and its effects on specific local establishments, citizens, and the students of Brigham Young University Idaho.
