		<description>Thanks for speaking out Josh,
While it may not be the official opinion of the Scottsdale CVB, I&#039;m sure it represents the feelings of the vast majority of CVB&#039;s and resort hoteliers across the country.  Media muckraking is causing immeasurable misery for far too many.  Time to stop the insanity.</description>

		<description>Right on. Great post. The media is killing the convention and meeting space by trying to find anything they deem scandalous. This is unfortunate for the entire industry that makes money from meetings and conventions and there by stimulates the economy in return. What the media doesn&#039;t understand is meetings and conventions are a necessary part of business and they can be done without exuberant spending.

Disclosure: I work for the Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau, but this is solely my opinion and doesn&#039;t represent the Scottsdale CVB in anyway.</description>
