JC Council renews Chamber contract

JC Council should have stuck to their ideas on this one. That would have made the Chamber much more accountable.

The coucil correctly wanted "outcomes accountabiltiy". The Chamber weaseled in "inputs accountabiltiy" instead, which will lead to "We didn't get any outcomes because you need to give us more input$".

Shame on the Chamber for leading these poor sheep of councilpersons away from true accountability. The new contract smells intensly of manure, because it is. The council had it right the first time. They were so close, but now they are so far away...
