Over-board

As the Carbondale Times reported, and as I posted earlier this week, the Carbondale Convention and Tourism board voted last week to greatly expand the size of the board.  According to an email I received, the board expanded from seventeen (15 voting) to 31 members, 29 voting and Mayor Joel Fritzler and someone representing Rep. Jerry Costello as ex-officio non-voting members.  That's an awful lot of people to oversee a $400,000 budget.

It appears that two members of the board voted against the expansion, Councilman Chris Wissmann and the Jackson Count Board's represenative, Ed Benyas.  Then, after the vote, all of the current city appointees, with the exception of Wissmann, were appointed to the newly created seats.
