What I'm referring to is the perception that some people in rural areas have of ANY chamber of commerce — that it is a "city" enterprise with city interests at heart. Likewise in inner-city, majority-black districts the chamber is often viewed as "white." These aren't hard and fast rules, but even some of my contacts in the Lafayette chamber acknowledge that a chamber endorsement may not be a good fit for some candidates. - Walter Pierce Thu, 16 Sep 2010 12:09:20 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6939-chamber-pac-endorsements-imminent#comment-10557 " it’s worth noting, however, that in some rural and inner-city districts in Lafayette Parish, a chamber of commerce endorsement may not carry much weight and could even be seen as a negative." Elaborate? This is the kind of statement that makes me wish I'd been following all this for years, now. There's some backstory that I don't know as a new spectator. - ragin_cajun Thu, 16 Sep 2010 12:02:04 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6939-chamber-pac-endorsements-imminent#comment-10554 Word is the Lafayette Chamber is also going to support and (via PAC) help fund a candidate to challenge William Theriot on the Lafayette City-Parish Council. I guess voters in that majority Republican district will need to be reminded, over and over again during the campaign, that quite a few of the Lafayette Chamber's Executive Committee gave money to the re-election of Pro-Obama care, Pro-Obama Stimulus Mary Landrieu. - RCajunRunner Thu, 16 Sep 2010 11:50:34 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6939-chamber-pac-endorsements-imminent#comment-10553 Do you think that there is a remote possibility that Greg Davis will receive the endorsement? Nah......probably not huh? - CuriousOne Thu, 16 Sep 2010 11:36:19 +0100
