All-American City or All American waste of money?
Posted by Dan in City & County Government
The city has been touting the fact that Fort Wayne is one of the 30 finalist for the All-American City Award. 10 winners will be selected. The city has been attempting to raise money to send some 25 or so individuals at a cost of about $1000 per person on an all-expense paid vacation to the newly renovated Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel and Marina where they will participate in the American Idol of Cities grand ceremonies.
The goal is to raise $25,000 for travel, hotel and other expenses. The city has already raised more than $6,000, said Rebecca Karcher, spokeswoman for Henry. Local businesses and people are also encouraged to donate to the travel fund.
