[Vision2020] Moscow Chamber is public too

[Donovan Arnold]

I concur 100% with Mr. London and thank him for that bit of information. 
However, I wish to tell Mr. London that Steve Busch and Jon Kimberly are no 
longer members of the Council, and Nancy Chaney, John Dickinson, and Linda 
Pall are. In other words, you might want to update your email list of 
members of the Council.

Take Care,

Donovan J Arnold

>First, the Chamber represents the city to prospective businesses, families

>In 2004, the city of Moscow gave the Moscow Chamber $10,000 as the city's 
>regular, annual donation.  In response, the chamber is supposed to help 
>with the economic development of our community.

>What the Chamber board is not supposed to do is give the community another 
>black eye by advancing the Christ Church agenda and lauding Robert E. Lee.  
>What the Chamber board is also not supposed to do is ignore the concern and 
>input from its members and from the members of this community.

>I urge the Moscow City Council to cease payments of our tax money to the 
>Moscow Chamber of Commerce until the Chamber board removes this financial 
>and ideological cloud.
