[Vision2020] Chamber President and FirstBank

[Donovan Arnold]

Scott, Joan, Wayne, Saundra, etc.

Consider this aspect:

Kimmel gets $1000 every two weeks for his job. That is about $9,000 for the 
rest of the year. They said they have about $12-15,000. That means they 
really have about $3,000-$6,000. I am willing be bet their rent, utilities, 
other officer salaries and needed expenses from September to December are 
going to run over $3,000-$6,000. I guess what has to be asked is what income 
do they have between now and January and what other expenses do they have.

I for one do not believe that they have enough money to last until January 
if just $9,000 of $12,000 is going to just one man.

I am also willing to bet it is going to be difficult to fill the coffers 
after Kimmell's stupid stunt of using Gen. Lee and the Confederate Flag as a 
focus person of a "business leadership conference". That is so obvious to 
anyone fortunate enough to have a brain that it was a "wink wink" to the 
members of his Church while Kimmell publicly tries to deny pulling favors 
for the Church. Only members of Christ Church would think "General Robert E. 
Lee" when asked to name successful business leaders.

If Ms. McMillan knows this and says nothing she is not worthy of my 
business, if she doesn't know this, she is to naive to have control of my 
money.

Sincerely,

Donovan J Arnold
