Is there a real reason she is going to India and China? While I understand that she needs to "get away" once in a while... One would think there is more than enough work to do around here.
Oh, and any insight on who is paying for the trip if it isn't city dollars? If someone can figure that out, then we all should be able to quickly deduce who she will pander to next.

Maybe it's Norman Hsu?
If she is visiting a sister city, my guess is she is getting at least some money from TGA.

My guess she is going to go get rid of our remaining call centers.
These overseas junkets are just pleasure trips in disguise. So the City may not be paying for it; Her Honor ought to keep her donkey at home and address more important issues, like the 4 murders we have had in Tulsa in the past 7 days.

Yeah Mayor, it's your fault those four people were killed. /sarc
"No city funds will be used to pay for the trip for Taylor, Davis or any member of the business delegation."
from the article...
China and India? There are over 2 billion people there, if I were looking for opportunities, I'd start there, too.

I have heard a rumor we are looking into outsourcing the "Low Water Damns"....
Someone took a look at the "Great Wall" and thought, these people, for the right $price$ may get this River thing done at a fraction of the cost...
They will require the workers to stay in either a Hotel or Motel the entire time they are working on the project...[}:)]

Let's hope she doesn't get any ideas from the Three Gorges Dam (//%22http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Gorges_Dam%22). Goodbye, Brookside....

Wow, it's a shame the Camelot is already coming down. Would have been better digs than they got back home in India or China.

No, I don't believe the mayor had any connection to the recent rash of murders. But she should be concentrating city efforts on increasing personnel on our police force, increasing police visibility and neighborhood patrols, and not tooting off to some useless overseas trip.
