Tuesday on KFYO Mornings with Dave King and Matt Martin, The President and CEO of the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce Eddie McBride joined Dave and Matt to talk about Lubbock returning to normal, what the Chamber is looking for in the Lubbock City Council Meeting, upcoming Chamber events, and more...
Eddie said that the chamber would not be taking a position on the issue, but did say, "We want them to pass the budget that is the most effective budget for the county and their operations. And last year they passed the effective rate, no matter if it was done politically, it seems like this year, from what I can understand, the intent of all five commissioners were to pass the effective rate in yesterday's vote on the agenda as the effective rate. They had previously all agreed in work session that they were going to pass as effective rate. So yesterday, to me, when Chad and Jason decided to walk out it didn't allow that hand to play out."
"It's our ability to put on an event that celebrates three of the things that I like most, and that's a little bit of libation, very good BBQ and music," Eddie explained.
