I warned those 110th Anniversary people not to rename "Christmas"
as "Winter Festival!"
Seriously though Tom Gilmour is a decent and hardworking fellow. I
like him a lot. I can't imagine what's behind all this. The "conduct
unbecoming" is a curious sounding allegation.
Tom has three significant posts in the City:
1 UEZ Director
2 Director of Economic Development
3 Board Member of Chamber of Commerce
With the Chamber he worked hard to get the Merchants Guild squashed.
The Merchants Guild corporate Structure is still available should
folks tire of the Chamber shenanigans and want to do their own
Marketing.
Just a matter of time I'm predicting. Dissatisfaction with Chamber
is what gave birth to Merchants Guild in the first place.
