Re: "Only council benefits..." Letters, July 17.
I certainly agree with the letter from KC Tuey regarding the useless waste of our taxpayer money on the past Sister City twinning trips to Japan, China and other locales.
Who went on these junkets to far away places? Various council members, senior Richmond staff and one or two Richmond citizens. I expressed my opinion some time ago about the need for us taxpayers to curtail such junkets using taxpayers' dollars! As a recent headline stated, 'Sister city spending plans put on hold.' Let's hope so!! Restraint starts here.
