Do your believe the tourism industry would be best served by the BCC creating a Public/Private partnership relationship for the Walton Area Chmber of Commerce to manage the TDC ?

The first reaction I have heard from people is negative. I would like to know more - pros and cons, reasoning behind it, how it would be managed, etc.
Like it or not most government services are headed down the road to privatization. Does it make sense for attracting tourists, managing beach services, educating the puiblic?
Of course the details are really needed on this. Are we speaking of the Chamber doing this, or Dawn Moliterno taking on the job of oversight, like a consultant until they find someone, as an individual. You would have to admit, she is certainly quite capable of doing the job, knows all the players, already interacts with most. I could see where this could be a plus for the TDC while they search for a permanent director. And this would be quite a bit different from a private enterprise managing public funds.
