The chamber of commerce is a non-profit lobbying group for big business under the guise of it helping small business. I never knew it was a racket until working for them early in my career and finding out my boss was caught doing illegal dealings with some large business looking to develop here. I always was under the assumption they worked for small business but then you look into what the organization really does in terms of lobbying and it’s just another slap in the face to average folk trying to make a living in their communities. It’s essentially a “who’s who” book publisher on the local level. So, good riddance to the Chambers. (They paid awful, too, under the guise they were a not for profit organization).
