Mayor leaves on economic mission to Saudi Arabia

Could we negotiate a figure required for them to keep him???

How, how could this possibly benefit Columbus residents? Stop the insanity. And stop the U.S. Conference of Mayors. And all the other amalgamations of government parasites. Where did the U.S. Conference of Mayors get the money to pay for Coleman and the other mayors? Don't pee on my leg and try to tell me it's raining.

Yeah, Dispatch reporter. Tell us who funds the U.S. Conference of Mayors.

As many problems as the city has,I wouldn't think it would be the time for a political junket.

Is he teaching the Saudis how to screw over residents who live in the suburbs into paying income taxes to a city where they can't vote?

People really take time out of their day to stew over the U.S. Conference of Mayors? I would be pretty happy to be a tax paying citizen in a city whose mayor is able to bring home the goods. As most of the people who are reading this already know the Saudis invest hundreds of millions of dollars in cities across the country. I would rather Coleman try to work for capital investment in Columbus then let that potential go to Des Moines or Boston.

i guess this will be his last trip paid for by someone else he has more pressing things here maybe he can bring back some big money

What in the .... is he doing there?...trying to import some more "legal" alliens...what do these people have to offer other than oil??? QUIT SPENDING OUR MONEY...SHOW SOME FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY DUMB...!

COLEMAN YOUR FIRED!!!....THIS IS YOUR LAST TERM IN OFFICE!

This guy is going to continue to take all the "FREE" vacations he can get, at someone elses expense! I will never understan how he continues to get elected. Personally, I think he is just trying to keep the white man down!!!:-)

I know why you will never be an elected official. You are ignorant.

I'd also like to know where the U.S. Council of Mayors gets their money. My guess is that Coleman contributed a pretty fair amount to be designated "leader" of the trip. And I'm sure that it came from all of that extra money Columbus voters just handed him!!

Maybe Coleman can get the Saudi's to pay for his Trolleys?

Why is he not visiting the Near East, and South End of Columbus to improve the economic, educational, and culture there? This could not happen at a worse time, and is a rather stupid political move.
Bring back some figs,
Duncan

13 promotioned last week at the Police dept, two deputy chiefs, two commanders, three lieutenants and six sergeants,
Now comes a trip to the middle east.
The Dispatch should talley up the expenses WE incurred for this trip abroad, who went, how much was spent. But since they are the court jester to this mayor, I wouldn't look for any accounts of this trip. Just as the Dispatch left out the news of the promotions.
One would think we are rolling in money around this town huh!!!
Way to go SWCS, hiring 43 coaches before they collect the first dime of new taxes. Stand up for the kids, how much is this going to cost us???

And so can you. And when you do you will find that one of the matters the Mayors are screwing around with is hooking us up with the U.N. Climate Change scam. Agenda 21 right from Al Gore, U.N., Globalism and World Government. And here it is:

Sound like you're a big Mayor Coleman fan.

Then if Jay is so ignorant, he should run for office and get your vote. You seem to prefer voting for ignorant people.

What a raging success our mayor's economic model has been: Give it all to the unions, raise taxes, lose business to the suburbs, hire the most inept people to run the department of development.
Sounds like the mayor should give a speech on how not to run a city.

That's funny!

Take the County's child support agency with you!
Those Camel heads!

According to the website, The City of Columbus (taxpayers) pays over $26,000 per year for membership in this organization.
But they probably share frequent flyer miles and stay at the Saudi Arabian equilivant of Motel 6.

sounds like a culteral vaction for everybody...we should not even be doing business with an oppresive muslim country that doesnt even let women drive and stones to death non-heteros!
