Dear Editor:
The Summerland Chamber of Commerce should not be moderating the municipal candidates’ forum this fall. The chamber executive took a position on the most contentious municipal issue of the last term by far: the land swap.
They didn’t need to, but they did, and they claimed to speak for the chamber and entire business community.
Now they have the power to choose what questions are asked of candidates.
The chamber should not be moderating this forum. The Summerland Review should be.
