No resentment, just a valid question. Having a verbally stated "position" which isn't backed up by action isn't a real position. I am not accusing Nissan of anything, just wondering where the truth lies. It is very hard for me to believe that Nissan and the other large corporations sitting on the board of directors have no power to influence the direction of the chamber of commerce. Just sayin'.LTLFTcomposite said:Wow you can't even give people what they ask for without them being bent on resentment. Seems their position was quite clear from that statement.
