From the transcript

I used to have a copy in my binder because it often came into play between Mark and John and other people who had positions in our community. And the mayor has never once hid that he's been on that Chamber of Commerce. He's constantly stated that he's on speaking on behalf of the chamber in certain instances. So it's not like it was something new. And for this to be tabled tonight is very, very frustrating to hear because this is completely avoidable.
