Mr. Vest is paid by a combination of funding through the ?EDC and the Lamar County Chamber of Commerce. He serves a dual roll and he serves those two different boards and they set his salary. He said that more than 50% of the revenue comes from the taxes through the Hotel-Motel tax and the sales tax that goes to the ?EDC.
