Alaska Town Leaves U.S. Chamber, Citing Politics

Listen to the Story: Morning Edition

The Homer, Alaska, Chamber of Commerce has withdrawn its membership from the National Chamber of Commerce. Businesses in the small fishing village say the national Chamber does not represent their concerns about taxes or climate change. Only a handful of cities, such as San Francisco and Chapel Hill, N.C., have done likewise. [hmm, I don't think "handful" is quite the correct term -- there are plenty leaving, and more all the time.]
