Right? I had a moment of “I thought the chamber of commerce was a business entity, not gov”. But I’m now super confused - surely the company’s legal counsel would have talked to him before he talked to the press?

Also, if the CoC isn’t part of the government aren’t they committing fraud by issuing “permits”? The permits themselves would be fraudulent, and I doubt they gave them for free, so...?

The CoC can't issue permits, for anything lol.

I'm assuming either the founder got played or is a bad actor. No lawyer would tell you to get a permit from the CoC. Joining the CoC gets you some piece of paper but its basically just a marketing organization.
