PS — I was just going to the article to copy a quote from it, and I’m having trouble accessing the website now... Looks like they aren’t quite “ready” for publicity, are they? LOL
"We thank the corporate members who have chosen to be active with us on the many successful joint ventures we share now and look forward to exciting future endeavors.
We invite other corporations to become members of The Mayors Business Council. We will be vigorous in urging members of the Business Council to take an active part in this important initiative, and will provide numerous opportunities for involvement.
Today the metropolitan regions — led by our urban and suburban Mayors — are the economic engines that drive this great nation and that have produced this period of incredible economic growth.
We pledge our best effort to strengthen, even more, those city — business partnerships that work each day to make our cities and nation economically strong for the benefit of all.
The business community is hard at work keeping municipal governments focused on their agenda. Perforce, that means little to zero time or money for other priorities.
