And what does Washington DC need to be preapred for? Well, the annual National League of Cities convention.
It looks like only 4 individuals are scheduled to represent Shawnee............(that's down from the 5 scheduled last year). Maybe my rants and raves here have had an effect?
OK, so who is going?
Mayor Jeff Meyers
Councilmember Mickey Sandifer (that's no surprise......he never saw a trip that he didn't want to go on)
Councilmember Jeff Vaught
City Manager Carol Gonzales
Could this list have been pared down? Possibly. How about if it was just the mayor, one councilmember and the city manager?
With his seat up for reelection on April 3rd Mickey Sandifer must feel that the citizens of Ward 4 are blind to all of the money he spends on travel, and feels like he will be returned to office. Add to that his voting for the CID, the franchise fee, and the insult to the voters in Ward 1 by voting for the appointment of Neighbor instead of pushing for an election.
If nothing else, it would be nice if this was the last trip Sandifer took that was paid for by the citizens of Shawnee. Let's not give him the opportunity to take any more.
