Hispanic Chamber of Commerce promotes local Hispanic businesses
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV)– The Hispanic community has grown of the past few years, and the Metropolitan Savannah Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce president said it will continue to grow.
The Hispanic Chamber said it's their mission to provide a voice for the local Savannah businesses. They also don't only serve the Hispanic community, but also the non-Hispanic community by bridging the gap between them.
'The Hispanic Chamber is basically, people who don't know anything about Hispanics and people who know about Hispanics or are Hispanic and bringing them together,' Hispanic Chamber President Alfonso Ribot said.
Ribot said that the diverse community is what the Savannah area needs, and the Hispanic businesses have something unique that everyone can enjoy.
'I know we're talking about some of the things that are happening out there in which businesses are closing, but one of the things that Hispanic businesses are doing is food,' Ribot said. 'Our culture, our way of treating people is appealing not just to Hispanics.'
Ribot said Hispanic business owners are more prone to stick to the business because it's like a family and that business needs to be promoted.
'If you are non-Hispanic, Hispanic and you are able lease patronize Hispanic businesses and anyone that has that little sign on the door that says Hispanic Chamber of Commerce member, come in you're going to love it,' Ribot said.
The Metropolitan Savannah Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce said they welcome anyone to join the chamber.

Fidelity Investments vs. Vanguard
Fidelity Investments and Vanguard are two of the largest asset managers in the world, with each offering a variety of low-cost funds to meet investors' needs. But they also operate online brokerages and rate well in Bankrate's annual review of the best brokers. Fidelity was named Bankrate's best broker in a number of investing categories in the 2025 Bankrate Awards. Fidelity stands out for its low fees, extensive lineup of account types, trove of research and education resources, along with helpful investing tools and great customer service. Vanguard offers thousands of no-transaction-fee mutual funds, including its own with rock-bottom expense ratios. Like Fidelity, the broker offers commission-free online trading of stocks and ETFs. Which one is right for you? That will depend on your unique circumstances and what features you're looking for in an online broker. Here's how Fidelity and Vanguard compare on some of the most common features. BROKER CATEGORY FIDELITY VANGUARD Stock and ETF commissions $0 $0 ($25 for phone orders) Options commissions $0.65 per contract $1 per contract for accounts below $1 million Account minimum $0 $0 Tradable securities Stocks, ETFs, bonds, mutual funds, options, cryptocurrency Stocks, ETFs, bonds, mutual funds, options Account fees No annual, activity or transfer-out fee $25 service fee for certain accounts (waived with $5,000,000 in Vanguard assets or email delivery of statements); $100 full account closure/transfer fee for certain accounts No-transaction-fee mutual funds 3,200+ 3,000+ Account types Individual and joint taxable, IRAs, small business (SEP IRA, solo 401(k), etc.), custodial, 529, HSA, managed portfolio, charitable and trust, among others Individual and joint taxable, IRAs, small business (SEP IRA, solo 401(k), etc.), custodial, 529, managed portfolio Mobile app Fidelity Mobile app on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store Vanguard mobile app on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store Fractional shares For purchases and dividend reinvestment Available on purchases of mutual funds and Vanguard ETFs; dividend reinvestment only on stocks/non-Vanguard ETFs Customer support Phone 24/7 availability, chat, email, 200+ branches Phone M-F 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. ET, email Fidelity and Vanguard both do a good job keeping costs fairly low, but Fidelity has a slight edge overall. Both brokers charge zero commission for stock and ETF trades, but Fidelity charges $0.65 per contract on options trades, while Vanguard charges $1 per contract for customers with less than $1 million in assets. When it comes to mutual funds, both Fidelity and Vanguard offer more than 3,000 funds with no transaction fees, making each broker an attractive spot for those saving for retirement or other long-term goals. Both firms offer a number of low-cost index funds, but Fidelity goes even further with its lineup of ZERO funds that charge no expense ratio at all. Account fees are non-existent at Fidelity, while Vanguard does charge a $25 fee in certain accounts, which can be waived if you have at least $5 million in qualifying Vanguard assets or sign up to have statements delivered electronically. Similarly, Vanguard's $100 processing fee for account closure and full transfer out does not apply to customers with high balances or those using a Vanguard-affiliated advisory service. Both Fidelity and Vanguard have no account minimum, allowing new investors to open accounts and then fund them with any amount when they're ready. However, if you're primarily interested in investing in mutual funds and don't have much in the way of savings to start with, Fidelity may be the better option. It offers a lineup of $0 minimum index funds, whereas Vanguard requires a $1,000–$3,000 minimum investment in its funds. That said, both brokers allow customers to invest as little as $1 in ETFs. Fidelity and Vanguard are also similar in terms of the number of tradable securities they offer. Both offer the standard choices of stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, bonds and options. Fidelity also recently began offering crypto trading in popular coins such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. This should meet the needs of most investors, but if you're looking for some of the more exotic areas of the market such as futures or forex, you'll need to use a different broker. You shouldn't have a hard time finding the type of account you're looking for at either broker, but Fidelity does offer a few more options than Vanguard. Both brokers offer standard account types such as individual and joint taxable accounts, IRAs (Roth, traditional and rollovers), small business retirement accounts (SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA and solo 401(k)) and 529 plans. You'll also have robo-advisor options with Vanguard Digital Advisor and Fidelity Go. Fidelity also offers health savings accounts (HSAs), which some people use to save for healthcare costs, as well as trusts and charitable accounts. Both Fidelity and Vanguard should be able to meet the account needs of most investors, though. Fidelity separates itself here with its Stocks by the Slice fractional share offering that lets customers buy into any of the more than 7,000 stocks and ETFs for as little as $1 at a time. Vanguard doesn't offer fractional shares on new purchases of stocks and ETFs (unless it's a Vanguard ETF), only mutual funds. However, both brokers offer fractional shares on dividend reinvestments. Fractional shares have become a key offering in recent years as stock prices for popular companies such as Alphabet, Amazon and Tesla have, at times, increased into the thousands of dollars for a single share. Fractional shares allow investors an opportunity to invest in companies with high-priced stocks and make sure that their full amount gets invested, instead of sitting in cash while they wait to be able to afford a full share. Fidelity also has a slight edge in customer support, but both brokers should be able to answer any questions you may have in a timely manner. Fidelity is available to take calls over the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, while also offering email and chat support. You can also get questions answered at one of the more than 200 branch locations they have throughout the country. Vanguard is also available to answer questions over the phone, but the availability is more limited at just 12 hours each day, Monday through Friday. You can also get questions answered over email. While each broker is a solid option for investors, the edge goes to Fidelity thanks to slight advantages in cost, the number of account types offered and their fractional shares offering. If these features matter to you, Fidelity is likely the best choice, but Vanguard isn't too far behind. If you already have significant assets with Vanguard, you may be able to wipe out some account fees, and the lack of fractional shares may not be a deal-breaker. Think about what matters most to you in an online broker; that should help you make your selection. You can always open accounts with both and benefit from the various features that each has to offer.

Georgia Power working to reduce number, length of outages
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — Whether it's a brief shower or a severe storm, Georgia Power said they are investing in their infrastructure by upgrading their energy grid for their 2.7 million customers. Georgia Power spokesperson Matthew Kent said they're doing this through smart grid technology. The company hopes to reduce outages when severe weather moves in. 'The technology can remotely restore power in the event that a line is down if there's an available way to reroute that power,' Kent said. 'But also at your home, smart meters and other smart technology on the lines, we're using all of that together to make sure that we can make your power outage times as minimal as possible after a storm,' Kent said. 'The main goal is to minimize any disruption. We know how difficult it is to be without power.' In 2023, the company reported customers were seeing up to 50% improvement. According to Kent, Hurricane Helene last year gave the company an opportunity to upgrade damaged technology. 'We had something like 11,000 poles, 1,000 miles of wire down and 3,000 transmitters. It was a lot of work to restore that,' Kent said. The Public Service Commission is voting this month on whether or not to freeze the base rate for three years. Your rate is dependent on the plan you have. Georgia Power sent WSAV the following statement on the rate freeze: 'At Georgia Power, customers are at the center of everything we do. As costs around the country rise, Georgia Power remains committed to providing our customers with clean, safe, reliable, and affordable energy. We are well-positioned to balance mutual benefits that are available as a result of the extraordinary economic growth taking place in our state. This stipulated agreement helps balance the affordability needs of our customers while ensuring Georgia Power remains equipped to continue its support of our state's incredible growth – which is good for all of our stakeholders. We're always working to keep energy reliable and affordable for customers, and this stipulated agreement means no base rate increases for three years – that's great news for every customer. Reaching this agreement is just the start of an open and transparent process, leading up to a vote by the Georgia PSC, which will include opportunities for comment and input from intervenors and the public.'

USTR Eases Port Fees for Foreign Vehicle Carriers, Scraps LNG Export Mandate
The U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) is again softening more of the fees it initially slapped on international vessels docking at U.S. ports. On Friday, the USTR proposed revisions that would reduce port fees for non-U.S. car carriers like Wallenius Wilhelmsen and ease restrictions on liquefied natural gas (LNG) tankers. The new rules would scrap the requirement that American LNG be transported on domestically built vessels, relieving pressure on some U.S. exporters. More from Sourcing Journal Hapag-Lloyd Bookings Double on China-US Route in Weeks After Tariff Truce Panama Canal Sees Post-Drought Spike in Container Shipping Transits LA, Long Beach Ports Brace for Potential Record-Breaking Summer Surge Under the revisions, ships of pure car and truck carriers calling at U.S. ports will be charged $14 per metric ton, down from the previously proposed $150 per car equivalent unit. With the new structure, the port fees for a 5,000 CEU car carrier—with a net tonnage of about 15,000 metric tons—would drop from $750,000 to $210,000. The USTR said in a 10-page notice that the modification was 'appropriate to address administrability and in light of the potential for fee evasion.' Additionally, LNG exporters will no longer have to commit to moving 1 percent of exports on U.S.-built ships by 2029 'in order to allay concerns about the provision's impact on the U.S. LNG sector,' the notice read. That change eliminates a provision which would have allowed for the suspension of LNG export licenses, if not compliant. The U.S. LNG industry was rattled the initial plan, with Charlie Riedl, the executive director for the Center for Liquefied Natural Gas (CLNG), calling the requirement 'simply not feasible' in an April statement. No U.S.-built ships are currently capable of carrying LNG. Although these specific penalties weren't exclusively targeting Chinese-built ships, the duties are an extension of the USTR's Section 301 investigation into China's maritime, logistics and shipbuilding sectors. The office determined in January that China had an 'unreasonable' dominance over the industries, largely on allegations that state-owned and state-subsidized resources increase foreign dependence on the country and harm global competition. The public comment period for the proposed modifications has begun and will run through July 7. Fees are expected to go into effect Oct. 14. In April, the USTR pared back its first proposal to impose port docking fees on Chinese container ships after hearing significant backlash from American industries and global shipping firms alike. That proposal called for vessels operated by Chinese companies to pay up to $1 million per port call, while operators of ships built in China would have to pay as much as a $1.5 million fee per port call. That proposal was amended to benefit carriers leveraging non-Chinese ships, and now calls for fees based on net tonnage (starting at $50 per net ton) and number of containers carried. For the most part, ocean carriers have indicated that they will be able to skirt the current fees. Companies like Maersk, CMA CGM and Hapag-Lloyd have said that their fleets will not incur any additional costs, as they will not deploy any Chinese-built ships to U.S. ports after the Oct. 25 deadline. Chinese carriers Cosco Shipping and subsidiary Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) will have to work around the fees by replacing ships on U.S. trade lanes with fee-exempt ships operated by their Ocean Alliance vessel-sharing partners, including CMA CGM and Evergreen. The carriers could also opt to sail more fee-exempt ships below 4,000 TEUs. Ahead of Wednesday's tariff truce between the U.S. and China, a Chinese official took a shot at the port fees during a shipping conference in Athens. Fu Xuyin, vice minister at China's ministry of transport, called the port fees and tariffs a 'selective implementation of discriminatory measures.' 'Port fees and tariffs…seriously disrupt the world economic and trade order and cause severe challenges the shipping industry,' Fu added at an international conference co-organized by the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS). Despite the fees in place, it doesn't appear that many of the major carriers have been completely deterred from placing orders for Chinese ships since the first USTR proposal back in February. Based on analysis on data from Clarksons, between Feb. 21 and June 8, 151 out of 343 newbuilding orders were placed by shipowners in Chinese yards. In terms of 'compensated gross tonnage,' a measure of work required to build a ship, Chinese shipbuilding won 48 percent of newbuild orders in the period while 52 percent went to yards in other countries. Shipbuilding orders have slid in the first five months of 2025 compared to the record pace of 2024, with Clarksons data saying that total orders were down 55 percent.
