Vol. 1, No. 19 — December 2018
In our most recent edition we stated our ignorance of how the Chamber got involved in the tax fight (due to lack of time to call everyone who might have been involved and ferret out the whole story, before getting back to much more pressing matters). Shortly after publishing that edition we received the following e-mail:
“The Chamber of Commerce was asked to lend its name to the list of complainants. The Board was surveyed, and approved the request. In none of the correspondence, with the principles, (sic) was there any mention of financial contributions. So, rather than ‘getting a free ride’, we have been waiting for further communications. If there is a request for funds, it will be presented to the Board of Directors of the Chamber, for discussion, and action. Prior to publication of the December Mentone Matters, the Chamber was not contacted by the editor to clarify any of the story.”
(Signed)
David W Wilder, President, Mentone Chamber of Commerce
Mentone Matters stands corrected. We hope all who were copied on the e-mail enjoy the rest of this edition. -MM
