Well, has it? Has the City Council wised up?
OK, for the long term readers of this blog (and anybody that wants to research previous posts) I have been on the council's case for a long time regarding trips to various conferences.
My comments have always been that these conferences can be helpful, we just did not need to send 4, 5 or 6 people to them. One or two would suffice and they in turn can brief the others upon their return.
Well, the National League of Cities is having a conference Nov 9 - 12. That is next week in Phoenix, Arizona.
According to the information I received today only one person is going to represent Shawnee at the conference. That is great, and that individual can then report what they saw and heard to all the others.
And guess who that person is that is going? Yes, the one and only. Mr Trip Taker himself: Mickey Sandifer.
Maybe, just maybe, my constant harping on this issue has had the desired effect. Nahhhhh, the council (certain members anyway) will probably say they did it on their own to save money. Yeah, right.
