Mark Ryan

It is a kind of price corridor, and the regional and local authorities are not allowed to exceed it.

Sergei Mironov

We're going to deal with the local farmers as much as we can. It will keep our menu changing. It will keep us more natural.

John Travis

The people were great here. The local Wal-Mart was the best one in the Valley, they donated $100. Game Crazy really helped out, too. There were a lot of people who gave $10 or $20. It really helped.

The U.S. Embassy is working closely with local Basra police and the British forces in the south to determine the cause and hopefully bring to justice those who were responsible for this.

Pete Mitchell

That doesn't mean we will exclude other candidates that may live and work in the district. I'd just as soon have a local candidate.

Janet Johnson

Colin has been training with us for a couple of weeks and, now he has become available, we are keen to give another local lad the chance of playing first team football for Chesterfield.

Roy Mcfarland

About 60 percent of what we sell now is to local customers. We sell a lot of corn to out-of-town customers as well. This is an excellent location.

Josh Dyer

It is evident that the state is not regulating these locations. It appears to me that the responsibility may fall to local authorities.

Terry Hammond

The (central and local) governments are supposed to find illegality, expose them and take steps against them, and obviously they were goofing off.

We have to work with a lot of other local agencies, and that takes time.

Rick Martinez

At the end of the day this is about the survival of the theatres and your local video store.

Kevin Holland

Unless we can bring this issue to the forefront, we will lose our local crab fleet. And everybody is feeling it's somebody else's problem.

Larry Martin

The operative word is coalition. We want to work with all agencies that are local and help them do what they are doing.

Don Baker

We talked for a brief minute (inside a local pool hall), and I asked (Jackson) what had happened. He said they went to the house, they saw her, and (Jackson) hit her.

Billy Burns

There are some local agencies that don't have the funding to participate in the system.

Ron Osborne

There are so many of those local areas of open water, there's just no way we could find them all. We just don't get involved; that's up to the local snowmobiling groups.

Chris Wunrow

There is reason to suspect an LeT hand behind this. The damage caused by the blasts shows the bombs were powerful and they could not have been engineered by local groups.

Yashpal Singh

It's the talk of the local bowling club, people are panicking, panicking.

Colin White

Our defense really stepped up late in the game. Buckeye Local didn't give up. They kept coming after us. But our kids handled everything they threw at us tonight.

Scott Dring

We are part of the fabric of America, from U.S. senators to your schoolteacher to your local banker.

Garry Wiseman

However, promoting and enabling local writers is exactly the sort of thing which Capital of Culture should be about.

It was so important that we get local input.

It's kind of showing off and celebrating what local collectors have amassed.

Marcelle Polednik

Shop local, shop local, shop local.

Jeremy Gorman

We may still be about $200,000 to $250,000 short. We're expecting some tax credits, but we may still have to do some local fundraising.

Carl Moore

The two factories were re-opened more than a year ago and are serving local residents well.

Njeru Ndwiga

Tom Dickman

Not only is it good for your soul, it's good for local economic development.

This operation will have a significant impact on the Hells Angels in Ontario and the local community.

Don Bell

We should be widely available because of the local appeal.

My main reason for running is that I've always been interested in local government. It's also something I feel I owe as an obligation back to county.

Yang Ailun

Terri Jones

Most of the buyers of luxury homes in Humboldt County are local.

Is it going to get better? Probably not. You may see some relief in local areas when we open new roads ? for a couple of years.

Don Deberry

What I can do is talk with the store manager about some of these things. That store manager will live in the community. It is easier for me to give you a commitment from a local store.

This was a man-made disaster caused by the failure of the federal government to properly construct the levees and caused by the failure of the local guys to notice.

There are many, many instances where we've found that the cities that agreed to eminent domain use not only destroyed local businesses but the tax revenue that the local government had hoped to generate did not come to pass.

It would have been better to have some local congressmen directly representing us.

Philip Peerless

The bottom line is, ... we're spending too much money on local government and not enough on our taxpayers.

The state, county, and local governments here really don't support us that well.

Tom Gorman

When Manny completed his milk deliveries and there was enough daylight left, he'd recruit a crew of bricklayers who would help the local home builders.

We've been able to attract a group of local investors who are very interested in keeping the Pioneer Press a viable entity in the St. Paul community.

Laura Bullock

I firmly believe people are overpaying for local telephone service by $8 billion to $15 billion.

According to the current constitution, the local governments have no power and depend fully on the central government.

Walter Reed

My campaign has already contributed, and I look forward, if there is money remaining, to continue to support local charities.

We have a lot of fun by local bands and entertainers.

Sharon Smith

Everyone I've talked to involved in any form of state, county or local government is opposed because they know this would put a straitjacket on government.

We saw some local buyers, but also foreign funds coming in. They have to because everything looks so cheap in dollar terms.

Anton Kruger

It?s kind of slow; now local people come in but it?s not the same.

David Cosgrove

If you want to own a bar or tavern, you have to abide by local and state laws.
