<DIV>Thank you, John Dickison for responding to Saundra Lund's Vision 2020
comments regarding the recent City Council meeting. After reading
your email I began to wonder why Moscow needs a Chamber of
Commerce. Why can't city government assume the role of
providing information packets, answering questions about Moscow, and
boosting our local economy? Moscow citizens know that
city employees enjoy fair hiring practices and equitable
treatment, every business would be represented (not just those who pay a
membership fee), it is unlikely that Moscow would ever have to endure
another humiliating Robert E. Lee type of incident, and there would be
credible financial oversight. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If folks in the business community wanted to continue enjoying
membership in a little club, run in their own peculiar style, they
should do so on their own dime. Moscow City government would do a much
better, much fairer, and much more professional job of representing
all of Moscow - and since Moscow taxpayers are already paying for the work,
why not let them, through their elected officials, run it? </DIV>
