JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

The Scottsboro Mayor's Race

During the past week I asked each candidate for the Mayor of Scottsboro one question. Why should I vote for you as Scottsboro's Mayor? I asked each to limit their answer to 2 minutes, below are the video results for each candidate for the Mayor of Scottsboro. Below each video you will find The Clarions video interview with each candidate.

Mr. Starkey mentions an interesting term, "shrinkage." What is shrinkage in the business sense?
"Definition of 'Shrinkage"

The loss of inventory that can be attributed to factors including employee theft, shoplifting, administrative error, vendor fraud, damage in transit or in store and cashier errors that benefit the customer. Shrinkage is the difference between recorded and actual inventory. According to the National Retail Security Survey, conducted by the University of Florida, shrinkage in the United States during 2009 represented 1.44% of retail sales. This percentage amounts to billions of dollars in lost inventory each year for U.S. retailers. Security guards, security tags and cameras are used by retailers in an effort to reduce shrinkage."
