FED'S RATE CUT REVIVES SMALL BUSINESS OPTIMISM AND PLANS TO BORROW
Brian Brown owns a landscaping business near Lake Tahoe.
This summer, fewer clients were interested in his services.
Normally, his clients decide quickly, but this year they were hesitant to spend.
The decrease in business has left him with less cash and fewer jobs lined up.
To save money, he is cutting employee bonuses and may need to lay off one of his six full-time workers.
