"Shopping locally affects our county much more than most people realize. Almost a quarter of all the sales tax paid to local businesses within the county goes to support fire fighters, law enforcement, public health, and other vital human services that we all rely upon. The tax dollars are substantial, but it's also important that in supporting our local businesses we provide jobs, services and conveniences in our community " - Dr. Vicki Barber,
El Dorado County Superintendent of Schools
"Buying locally keeps wealth circulating in our own communities. It is estimated that for every dollar spent locally, that same dollar will be spent another five times before leaving the community. Imagine how much business we are losing each time someone buys something outside of the county." - Shawna Purvines, Director of El Dorado County Office of Economic Development
"The neighboromics campaign will benefit the entire County, not just with increased sales tax but new jobs and improved infrastructure." - Laurel Brent-Bumb, Chief Executive Officer, El Dorado County Chamber
"When it comes to shopping locally, Neighboromics has all the tools to educate, encourage and facilitate." - Shiva Frentzen, President of CAL Internet Services
“Every dollar spent in El Dorado Hills and throughout El Dorado County supports vital services, such as the firefighters, through the portion of the sales tax that stays in El Dorado County.” - Larry Fry, Chief of the El Dorado Hills Fire District
"As Sheriff my primary focus is public safety. When people purchase goods and services within El Dorado County our county has more funds from sales tax to invest in officers and equipment. As a result everyone is safer." - Jeff Neves, El Dorado County Sheriff
"Supporting the local economy by shopping within El Dorado County helps all of our community. It keeps cars off Highway 50 and provides sales tax revenue to the county. The County uses that revenue to pay the salaries of Sheriff Deputies, paramedics, and librarians." - Joe Harn, CPA, Auditor-Controller El Dorado County
