Personally, I don't think I am going to be outraged about a salary for a position heading up an organization responsible for bringing in millions to this county, and taking care of our most precious resource - the beaches. I'd like to reserve judgment until I can measure performance down the road a bit.
How do we know if the TDC has actually done that? I wonder sometimes. Has any independent group ever studied the promotional expenditures of the TDC in order to ascertain the success level of their programs at generating general revenue?
I get beach maintenance, beach access, and beach nourishment. These are all good things. But the TDC spends quite a bit in other areas. I wonder how effective a job they've done.
