Whata ya say if you knew that Wusta's most prominent pro-business councilor and chief chump of the city's Economic Development Committee isn't a member of the Chamber of Commerce? Say hi to legal eagle Rick Rushton.
What about the councilor who went over to the dark side last year. What would you say if her employer, and she's the business manager, isn't a member of the chamber. Is that you Kate Toomey? What about the council's perennial gadfly (not exactly a pro-business councilor) who's also not a member. Come on down Konnie Lukes.
What about the newbie councilor, a pro-business droid, ain't willing to put his money where his mouth is. What about the pastor of a Main South church. Yes churches are members of the chamber too - 11 are. How about the councilor who's a real estate developer and rabid anti-smoker/anti-retail. Hey folks, meet George Russell, Sarai Rivera and Phil Palmieri.
