A recent letter to the editor questioned the chamber’s neutrality on the issue of Mayo’s recent decision on changes to the structure of Mayo Clinic Health System in Albert Lea and Austin. The Chamber Board recognizes that we have a membership that is extremely diverse. It was felt that in this case, the decision to weigh in on this subject should be left to the individual businesses and members. A position by the chamber would imply that all members support that stance. It is our position that this be left to the individual.
