The recent election has shown that plenty of people across the country are upset about the stimulus bill. Not everyone, though. Some people are actually grateful for the opportunity it gave them to grow their business, even in a recession. Zach Davis and Kendra Baker, owners of Santa Cruz’s new Penny Ice Creamery, are among them. They even made a brief Youtube video thanking the President, Vice President, Senators Feinstein and Boxer and Representative Farr for giving them the support they need to get their new business off the ground. They even listed all the people they employed to make their dream of world-class ice cream made from scratch a reality.
Now, who can ignore good ice cream or a good video? Not Vice President Joe Biden. He called to thank them for a “damn good Youtube video” and let them know that “I’m comin’ for ice cream.” He even told them that the business they built was a “template” for how the administration had hoped that small business loans under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act would work. For Davis and Baker, that’s an endorsement they are happy to get. Read more at the Santa Cruz Sentinel.
