I caught an interesting side note in the StarTribune article about City
Council traveling expenditures.

In response to some requests for an accounting of travel by city officials
paid for by the St. Paul Chamber of Commerce:

 

"'Deputy Mayor' Flaherty said the City Council approved a donation from the
chamber last year that sent Kelly to Denver to broadcast a live stadium
message from Coors Field via closed-circuit television to attendees of an
annual chamber event in downtown St. Paul."

 

What I find funny is that they flew out to Denver to pretend to be at Coors
Field for a group back in St. Paul.  I'm thinking the Chamber has a little
too much invested in selling the new stadium!  This was one expensive photo
op.

 

If I was a Chamber member, I would ask for a reduction in my membership
fees.
