By your standards, Strawberry, Mitt should have encouraged Marriott to operate prostitution services in all their properties in Nevada, scheduled and billed through the front desk.
And no, seeing as how the Focus on the Family story wasn’t aired or posted online until today, I didn’t post the same story a few days ago.

I did post another story on the same subject. I suspect there’ll be more in the days ahead. I’ll be sure to keep you well-posted as they emerge.
A member of the board of directors has a fiduciary duty to the stockholders - to maximize their investment. To be the only hotel chain offering prostitution would have been a terrible public relations move and ruined the chain’s image for the sake of a handful of locations with negligible revenue on a chain-wide basis. Though I am sure there are some who avoid Marriott because they offer porn, that number if probably negligible and pales in comparison to the revenues generated. To have made the corporation less profitable due to his personal beliefs would violate his fiduciary duty. One can argue whether, as a matter of principle, he should have accepted the board post, but having done so he made a committment to Marriott shareholders.
Don’t tell me you didn’t post this story 2-3 days ago...I saw you do it. Same story from a different source doesn’t make a new story nor does it mean that anyone other than the relative handful you fall into actually care that Mitt, as a board member, did nothing to rid Marriott of in-room porn pay-per-view.
There’s plenty to go after Mitt without resorting to this lame BS.
It’s very simple. Mitt’s job was to make money for the Marriott hotel chain. By allowing prostitution at the hands of Marriott, it would generate enough negative attention towards Marriott that it wouldn’t be fiscally viable as a program. They are, afterall, a 2-4+ star hotel chain. They might actually lose business for being a bordello. In-room porn does not do this at all because it’s still a choice...and it’s freakin’ EVERYwhere as a choice....that one has to pay for...and only a tiny handful of folks care that a board member didn’t do away with this and would go to another 2-4+ star hotel chain that didn’t provide in-room porn.
Good luck finding that porn-free hotel...maybe you won’t get bed bugs, as it would be less than a one star place that doesn’t even give free cable.
You gonna post this story again when it’s brought up by yet another source?
