| Exactly. The City doesn't have to belong. In fact, I'm not sure why they do. The Chamber works in connection with the city on some projects (like they did for trying to get MPBLX (now Excel) to locate in Dodge. When I worked there, I can't remember how the dues were based. But I believe the larger businesses had more than one membership/representative. If you think it's not beneficial for the City to belong, then voice your opinion to the City Council. Make them account for it just like any other tax expenditure. Then again, does anyone say anything when the Country Club raises their dues - ya know the City's paying the cost of dues for the City Manager, right?
