The major Wall Street markets posted quite the second quarter but will the party continue? That story and more today on the final day of June 2020:
- IRS says no more delays...pay up;
- What a national mask mandate might do;
- Your favorite home improvement store ain't who you think;
- UAW asks GM to close a Texas plant;
- U.S. families spending less on just about everything;
- The Wall Street Report;
- 1, 2, 3 strike outs today. It's a "trifecta" of closings.
Also today, for the interview you'll hear how Tero International had to completely change their business model from holding in person skills training to virtual events. How they did it, why they did it and how it's working out. My guest is Deborah Rinner the Chief Learning Officer of the company. To hear that...click here.

Lordy, lordy...he's back! Jeff Pitts from Cityview has been gone from our Friday "Stuff to DO" briefing as the staff from Cityview took some COVID19 time off. Now the crew is back on duty and here Jeff rejoins us as we talk about stuff to do online...like an online film festival from our friends at the Interrobang Film Festival. Or how about an opera from Des Moines Metro Opera. And, nope, not in Italian but in French! Those things and much more. Enjoy, have a laugh or two...you deserve it.

There is a primary election happening on the second of June. But...and this is a BIG BUT...out of an abundance of caution County Auditors are busy combining polling places and, more importantly, encouraging Iowans to vote by mail. The Iowa Secretary of State is mailing out Absentee Ballot Requests to every Iowa voter including "no party" voters who can declare themselves as a Democrat or a Republican to vote by mail. Here I visit with Jamie Fitzgerald who is the County Auditor for Polk County. Listen as we talk about what is happening across the state and the critical importance of voting by mail. And, if you follow the link above you can go directly to his office to request a mail in ballot. Go!
