Korea Airfare for Mayor's Wife

We finally received a document that shows how much the city paid on airfare for the mayor's wife on the Korea trip, exactly $1,252. This plus the other documents with expenses that we have shown on this website easily add up to approximately $2,200 that the city has spent on the mayor's wife. Or should I say this is the amount that we, the citizens of McFarland have paid up to this point. And for those of you that attended the last council meeting, recall that the mayor defiantly said that he would continue taking his wife on these trips. We'll have the audio clip posted on this website next week.

Also, another interesting thing. The mayor, his wife, and the city administrator each received a $600 check from the city to cover their hotel and meals on this Korea trip. Wouldn't the mayor and his wife share a hotel room, why was it necessary to give each one a check? Adding all of the expenses for city officials on this Korea trip, I estimate ~$6,800 was spent for the entire thing. What do we have to show for this expense?
