Seems like everyone commenting in the negative about Mr. Parker forgets how he arrived @ the Chamber. He was brought in to clean up the scandal from his predecessor. The fact he's been kept around evidences that he's done some things right. 200K/year is reasonable given his track record. I'll lay money on the fact that those making negative comments don't even belong to the Chamber, or ARE DUES PAYING members. These comment forums draw the worst/negative/jealous/immature...morons.

REPORT ABUSE

Not to mention that Parker does absolutely nothing. He makes over $200K a year and is an embarrassment to the city. His goal is to be in the press all the time. He tries to get himself into anything that gets his picture in the paper or on local news.

Parker's ill conceived opposition to the successful casino proposition illustrates how parochial and out of touch the local chamber has become due to Homer's short sighted leadership.

Ditto to the DDN.

This group of new Trustees appear unlikely to introduce much needed reform of the Chamber.
