TOPEKA, Kan. (KSNT) – More than $3 billion in gift cards go unused every year, according to Glenda Washington, chief equity and opportunity officer for the Greater Topeka Partnership.

“In January it’s generally slow. So, if we can use those gift cards, go into the shops and buy local if you can,” Washington said. “If you have a local gift card, make sure you use those first.”
The day encourages people to spend the gift cards they received for the holidays. This helps boost revenue to local businesses, because typically people spend over the amount of their gift card, Washington said.

Podcast: Measuring the change in Valley shopping habits due to COVID-19
WESLACO, TEXAS – A shift in shopping habits brought about by the coronavirus pandemic has boosted sales tax revenues for smaller communities in the Rio Grande Valley.
Matt Ruszczak, executive director of Rio South Texas Economic Council, analyzed these developments in an 2020 end-of-year report. His report was based on information released by the Texas Comptroller's Office.
"The COVID shift, looking at these numbers, is definitely real," Ruszczak said. "The fact that people have changed their shopping habits reverberates in these numbers.

Denver Broncos Vic Fangio's NFL Draft Shopping List for George Paton Includes LB 'With Foot

Although technically speaking, both Paton and Fangio still answer to Elway and are considered "side-by-side in the organizational power structure" this year, Paton will ultimately hold a higher spot in the Broncos' hierarchy when push comes to shove. However, the expectation is that Paton and Fangio will be "working partners.
