The way that some board members of the CVB, employees and elected officials attending the meetings conduct themselves is a disgrace to Columbus and deserving of chastisement from citizens. It is disgusting to read about the immature antics of some people at every meeting. This behavior reflects poorly on the entire community and should not be tolerated.
The efforts of those board members who work unselfishly for the well-being of our town should be applauded. It is admirable that they are willing to invest much personal time and effort without receiving monetary compensation. However, those board members whose contributions appear to be self-promotion only need to be held accountable for their actions.
