Weak Showing from the Mesa Chamber

This just in. In the Mesa's Mayor's Race, the Mesa Chamber of Commerce has endorsed... EVERYONE. Gee, that certainly makes it a valuable endorsement. I wonder if any of the candidates will have the guts to try to put a note on their signs.

I am very disappointed in the chamber and their outcome. This is a time for Mesa to make some serious decisions, and the chamber has taken themselves out of the equation. I would bet that there was some serious factions within the Chamber each who wanted to support a different candidate. The chamber was big time behind the property tax campaign which was supported by all three candidates. I am sure that they all made friends inside the chamber along the way.

So now, instead of duking it out behind closed doors to pick a winner - and coming out in support of one candidate, they decide to become a spectator on the sidelines. Talk about tough decision making. What does the business community have to lose in Mesa?
