I have nothing against having a sister city in China. It's probably a good idea. I'm just not a big fan of having the taxpayers foot part of the bill. I know that we were told that the Chinese were paying for the entire trip except for about ten thousand dollars. City Manager Roosevelt Harris even explained that the money was not coming from the general fund. He said it was coming from a special fund that had been set aside for things like this. Hey Rosie! It's still taxpayer money! Money that we apparently didn't have enough of to pay our city workers without putting some on furlough. How do you explain this kind of economics to the ones that have seen their paychecks cut? Next time instead of spending taxpayer money let's get a corporate sponsor to fund the trip. We could just put it on Sea Island's tab. They probably wouldn't even notice...since they already owe just everybody around here anyway!
Here are the top 4 things overheard during the Brunswick delegation's latest trip to China:

3. Hey Skinny, Funny Man...Deal or No Deal!
2. See if you can get them to build a factory at Liberty Harbor.

I've never seen a Peking Duck with four legs and whiskers.
