Column June 4 - June 11

I am going to date myself by reminding people about the man in the yellow question mark suit commercials talking about all the free money he got from the government. I don’t know about money, but the government does have many agencies that give out great free information. One great resource is the Consumer Information Catalog where you can order many free publications about money, cars, education, employment and much more.
