Pacifica Tribune, 7/17/12. "Pacifica Chamber of Commerce forms Business and Community Political Action Committee."

| Pacifica, a city with economic challenges |
"
The
Pacifica Chamber of Commerce, in response to the membership requests,
has formed a political action committee (BACPAC) to further advocate
sound economic decisions by our elected officials. We understand the
burden that can placed on local business due to poorly written
regulatory decisions.
 |
| Chamber of Commerce (Rockaway) |
Pacifica is emerging from 14 years of
structural deficits. This is unacceptable and we will work to make sure
that sound fiscal decisions are made considering all aspects of economic
impact to our residents and our business community. We need to
establish an open and transparent dialogue with our elected and
appointed city officials with the stated goal of working to make
Pacifica a viable and strong economic community realizing that our
natural beauty must be maintained.
The Pacifica Chamber of
Commerce Government Affairs Committee will host a public forum this fall
so that the public can participate in a thorough question and answer
session with city council candidates. Additionally a candidate
questionnaire will be mailed to all candidates and the responses posted
in the Tribune and local blogs.

BACPAC will allow our business
members and the community at large to support candidates with a vision
to move Pacifica forward. Participation in the decision process will
make Pacifica stronger in the long run.
We have some major
challenges facing Pacifica. The Palmetto Avenue beautiful project will
be a major undertaking. The final EIR
on the OWWTP is due to be released soon. A new library project is in the works.
We
have too many vacant storefronts in town. The Chamber is looking for
new leaders who have a plan and vision to address Pacifica challenges."

Great great great! This is what we need to finally defeat the naysayer NIMBY numbskulls.
I assume that BACPAC will be endorsing candidates for at least the City Council election in November. Who will be making that decision, the Chamber directors, the Government Affairs Committee, the membership-at-large?
decisions, decisions
It's a small bus. Who gets to ride?
Paul, call the Chamber for your answer. They believe in transparency.
