Some ill informed individuals have been posting items on social media about the city spending money to send some folks on a trip to our sister cities in Europe.
OK, let's set the record straight. No city (i.e. taxpayer) funds are used for these trips. The Sister Cities Committee uses donations as a partial payment for these trips. Participants representing the city have to pay the difference out of their own pockets. Spouses have to pay 100% of their expenses.
