Rochester Area Builders, Inc.
From The Senator’s Desk
A Special Message from Senator Dave Senjem
Dear John,
I cannot tell you how surprised and most importantly how touched I was when you announced me as a recipient
of the Rochester Area Builders “Dennis Hanson Memorial Award.” As you probably recall I was totally out
of it in terms of emotion and composure. I don’t know what I told your audience but I can only hope it was
coherent and respectful.
As you may recall, I was invited to attend that night to talk about sprinkler legislation and the related court
decision and I was really fired up to give a good speech. As the program moved along it seemed like my speech
was getting farther and farther from flowing very well into your program, but I clung to the idea that I would
eventually be called upon at the end under “New Business” or guest comments, or something like that.
About the time I had concluded that you’d probably forgotten about me or changed your mind about me
speaking, you called my name on the Denny Hanson Award. What a shock! Whatever little I do or have done
in the legislature is done with no need or expectation of a thank you, much less an award. In this case to receive
an award named after one of my dearest friends was way off the charts and profoundly emotional.
I think it would be pretty close to true to say that nearly everyone in the room that night had a “Denny story.”
As a close city council friend and later as a legislator I have many. Unfortunately, until I leave office I cannot
tell most.
John and Rochester Area Builders, thank you again so very much. The award rests prominently on my Senate
desk and has already attracted a goodly amount of conversation. The award, by the way, in so many ways
symbolizes the greatness of your very special organization, in my mind, probably the finest networking and
policy advocating organization in Rochester. You should all know and be proud of that.
So, good luck in all your future holds. Know that I hold Rochester Area Builders in the
highest esteem. I am so proud to call you all friends.
Sincerely,
David H. Senjem

ABOUT HALEY
In 1990, brothers Tom and Joe Haley
launched Haley Comfort Systems in Plainview,
Minnesota. Thanks to hard work, strong
customer-driven values, and a loyal group
of customers, the original furnace and
air conditioning (A/C) business has now
expanded to offer much more.
Today, Haley Comfort employs more than 70
people and has two beautiful showrooms in
Rochester and Hastings, MN. Its business
entities include Haley Comfort Systems and
Bright Ideas. The company also sustains a
powerhouse warehouse, fabrication shop and
custom woodworking division located in the
city where it all started, Plainview, MN.

Towards
Cleaner
Water
Clean water is important to all of us. From recreational activities such as fishing and water skiing to everyday uses including
bathing and drinking, we all need water. Each of us has a responsibility to do what we can to keep our water resources clean
for future generations. Are you doing everything you can at your construction sites to protect our water by preventing litter?
Each year during the Help Make Rochester A Litter Bit Better! event, litter from construction sites is reported by volunteers
throughout the city. Let this be the year you make a commitment to keeping your site litter-free each and every day.
Use this checklist as a reminder of what you can do to “build towards cleaner water.”
 Place litter collection containers in convenient locations around the site for ease of disposal.
 Keep dumpsters, roll-offs, and other containers covered at all times to prevent litter from escaping.
 Check these containers regularly to make sure they are not overfilled. Order additional dumpsters or request more frequent
collection if overfilling is an issue.
 Bag and tie up loose items before throwing them in a container.
 Use snow fencing around construction or demolition sites to prevent debris from blowing into other areas.
 Use a tarp or net when hauling materials in an open pickup truck or trailer. This prevents safety hazards as well roadside
litter.
 Smokers should use an ashtray, receptacle or a portable pocket ashtray to prevent “butt” litter …the #1 littered item in the
U.S.
 Routinely walk the site and collect loose items and debris that may have escaped.
 Communicate with your staff, vendors, and subcontractors about their personal responsibility for a clean and safe working
environment. Discuss proper disposal methods and locations of disposal areas.
 Participate in this year’s A Litter Bit Better! event:
o Pick a date between April 23-30
o Pick a location and register as an individual or group at www.RNeighbors.org/litterbitbetter
o Pick up litter at your registered site during A Litter Bit Better! week
It is up to all of us to do our part to prevent litter in our community. Please take the time to keep your construction sites clean
and help make Rochester A Litter Bit Better!

There will be No Recession + + + + +
in 2016!++++++++++++++++++++++
Elliot Eisenberg, Ph.D. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Despite all the news to the contrary, the US economy
is in pretty good shape, better than the financial
pundits think. Sure, the stock market has taken a
battering of late, exploration and production activity
in the oil patch has been declining, and exports are
performing poorly, but the rest of the economy is
fine. The service sector continues to grow nicely
and construction activity continues to increase. Let’s
take a closer look at the facts.
well as related manufacturing, construction and oil
services activity that supports oil and gas E&P. The
key here is that cheaper energy prices have boosted
household incomes by about $130 billion or $1,000/
household. While to date most of this money has
been socked away, I expect that to change and to
see increased consumer spending this year and next
as households perceive the recent price declines as
somewhat permanent.
The recent tumble in equity prices has nothing to
do with a slowing economy and is not the precursor
of a recession. Rather, the declines are the result
of three quite independent factors. First, as the Fed
raises interest rates, the value of financial assets must
decline. Remember, the Fed initially lowered rates
to boost asset prices and stimulate spending. As
this process slowly unwinds, the value of equities
must decline. Second, corporate profits have been
flat for several quarters, and third, even at today’s
somewhat lower equity values, P/E ratios remain
high by historic standards.
Most importantly, the rest of the economy is already
doing well. Unemployment is at 4.9% and will
decline further as the year progresses, and at 4.9%,
unemployment is already at one of the lowest levels
in decades. Moreover, home sales and prices are up,
as is loan demand. In addition, tight labor markets
are finally leading to sizable increases in hourly
earnings, which will boost household spending
further, and inflation, which has been completely
dormant for several years, appears to be rising. This
is a particularly welcome development given that
Japan and Europe continue to fight deflation.
As for exports, the US is much less dependent
on them than most nations. Exports of goods to
China total less than one percent of GDP, while
exports of goods to Europe are about 1.5% of GDP.
While exports of services such as movies, music
and intellectual property add to these totals, they
do not vary much with economic conditions. As a
result, while a 10% decline in exports certainly hurts
manufacturers and their employees and reduces
GDP by about 0.2%, it is far from catastrophic in
an economy growing by a healthy 2.5%.
Lastly, services, which account for roughly 84% of
GDP, and construction activity, which accounts for
about 6% of GDP, both of which are almost entirely
domestically focused, are in fine shape and growing
nicely. During the past 12 months, construction
activity increased by 10.4% and services grew by
3%. In short, the parts of the economy that are
inwardly-centered are doing well, and the negative
impacts of softer growth from abroad are not nearly
strong enough to derail our economy. As for the
upcoming election, let’s fervently hope that the
threats to dramatically raise taxes or increase the
deficit do not come to pass.
Regarding falling oil and gas prices, the benefits
to the economy are just beginning. Until now,
the price declines have resulted in large cutbacks
in exploration and production (E&P) activity, as
