Reward companies that reward community

Many companies like Quaker Oats continue to show their commitment to Cedar Rapids. A thumbs up to Quaker for weathering the flood and sticking with the community.
That said, AEGON/TransAmerica, once a major powerhouse in the community, has been laying off workers left and right. AEGON is outsourcing some jobs to India.
I encourage anyone with insurance or investments with AEGON to take their money elsewhere like AEGON has to this town.
