An open letter to Parsippany from the local Chamber of Commerce: As you start holiday shopping this Small Business Saturday, please keep these thoughts in mind before you make your purchases. If every family in the country spent just $10 a month with a locally-owned, independent business instead of a national chain, over $9.3 billion would be directly returned to local economies. That means better schools, better roads, more support for police, fire and rescue departments and stronger local economies. Shopping local creates jobs.
