As long as taxpayer funds are going towards this nonsense it will remain an outrage. The City needs to catch a clue and cut off the cash flow.

Why did ANYONE get treated to this extravagant trip? The chamber could have supported a local business, saved money, and allowed wider input by meeting at the convention center.

Have you considered a tutor for your grammar? That would be Ace of Spades to you my dear.
You voted to do away with feather fest and blew taxpayer money like you do on every trip.
Still waiting for your cancled checks and the tooth fairy.

If you had gone you would know that they discussed things such as the need for an overpass at the Don Tyson Parkway, ways to tap into available State development funds and activities, even Emma Street and Springdale High. All of which the coucil, business community, and the chamber have acted and worked on since the meeting and all of which will help Springdale in the future.
And yes, just my point 177K, interested businesses and citizens were invited and had to pay. The chamber did not treat them to an extravagant trip to Mt. Magazine. It was working meeting and I was glad to pay. Sounds like you think the chamber should have treated “you” to free trip!!! Your a spade

Hello Reddog, you know damn well that is a crock. Citzens that did want to attend were forced to pay for everything. I dont see any deposits to the Chamber with your name on it. How about one of your canceled checks. Lets call a spade a spade

And what did we get from that venture… Nada, just more Perry Tales. Reminds me of the “Bass Pro is coming “story Perry hung his hat on for so long. And just where are they?

“It was a very productive meeting.”
We would be happy to hear what the city of Springdale gained from this meeting.

“It’s that revenue thing you keep choosing to ignore.”
We did not ignore any revenue. Everything the Chamber provided us is posted. If you have additional documentation you would like to add please provide it.

the $23k for Mt. Magazine I am sure was for City Futures II, I was there…. along with the mayor, council members, and leaders from all areas of business in Springdale. If you really wanted a hand in shaping the priorities for Springdale, you should have been there too! It was a very productive meeting. And guess what, I paid them to go, and they paid Mt Magazine. It’s that revenue thing you keep choosing to ignore.
