Letter: Tourism finances ‘out of control’

Owner of 91Ô­´´ B&B says absence of tourism organization would allow innkeepers to offer guests lower rates

Editor: Re: Tourism 91Ô­´´ calls for vote on dissolution (the Times, Feb. 17)

Where did $6 million go? I totally agree with Coun. Quaale that the finances at Tourism 91Ô­´´  are out of control.

However, Tourism 91Ô­´´ is really not accountable to anyone.

Here is one example: In the past year, the executive director received over $131,000 plus other benefits. That, in itself, is an outrage — $41,000 over budget.

Really, it’s a job that is worth less than $20,000 at best.

Hopefully, the innkeepers in 91Ô­´´ will push back and rid the community of this, and start giving lower prices to 91Ô­´´ visitors.

Wally Martin,

91Ô­´´
