Yep, for sure they pulled it cause they don’t want to draw attention to how little they do and how much money they waste at the Chamber of Commerce.
I really doubt a video of this length and quality was done for free. The important thing to note is how much time was spent on this project. From the number of Chamber staff involved and the elaborate graphics and different locations involved, I’d wager this cost quite a bit just to tape, edit and produce.
Clearly, the Asheville Chamber of Commerce staff do not have enough real work to do!

Looks like Rick Lutovsky got nervous and had the Chamber staff post a bunch of positive comments about his vanity video.

I really liked that video, its ashame they took it down. It’s important in a business to have activities like that and poke fun at themselves now and then. I just hope they didn’t take it down because of one or two bad apples who hate the chamber, video or no video.

This video was done free for the chamber. Y’all need to chill out, it’s hilarious.

One has to wonder how much time and money the Chamber spent making this ridiculous video. It simply proves how very little the Chamber people have to do other than cut ribbons and draw fat paychecks, all subsidized by money from Buncombe County government. Rick Lutovsky is a joke and has never been taken seriously. Ray Denny has had zero success in recruiting new businesses to Asheville — he still thinks he is going to lure big manufacturing plants here — that shows how out of touch he is. Laura Copeland is just a lobbyist and does nothing other than wine and dine politicos. My God, 40 people on the Chamber’s staff — that says it all. What a total waste this organization is. They should be ashamed.
