Industrial Development Board is supposed to recruit business

TO THE EDITOR:
The city wants to pay an out of state company $70,000 to show us how to recruit new businesses.
My question is: what about the Industrial Development Board? Isn’t that their job? The county and city taxpayers have each given them almost $100,000 a year, or more, for several years.
Where is this money going and where are the jobs? Is it paying for a highly paid recruiter? Shouldn’t we as taxpayers have an explanation of where this money is being spent and how many new jobs have been created?
