Annapolis Capital Punishment

It's not been easy getting the basic information, which in and of itself proves how poorly managed everything is at City Hall.  Here is a basic breakdown as provided by Rhonda Wardlaw from the mayor's office:


Frank Biba:  Air Fare $840.20 - lodging $630.87
Patricia Blick: Air Fare $1,061.40 - lodging $430.87
Karen Engelke: Air Fare $926.40 - lodging  0 ( paid for her own)
Mike Mallinoff: Air Fare $840.20 - lodging $630.87
Sam Shropshire: Air Fare $1,102.00 - lodging $630.87


Registration fees were waived for 4 participants, so there is a $250.00 charge for the 5th delegate.
Most meals were provided so any additional cost would be minimal.

Let's see, that comes to about $5000 for airfare plus about $2400 for lodging and we paid all these city employees while they were away for 4 or 5 days. I am sure it would mean many thousands of dollars of our money, but at City Hall these days, it's just a few pen strokes and voila--off to Pilsen!  (Why was Sam Shropshire's airfare more than $250 more than the other lowest fare?)
