One of the stories that our correspondent in city hall let us know about THE MAYOR'S astute decision making skill has to do with a decision he had to make on the spur of the moment. This decision probably saved the city thousands of dollars.
Here's the story. THE MAYOR had been wooing a very important city to become our sister city in the United Kingdom. He settled upon a community that is known for producing the primo go-karts used at amusement parks across the world. These go-karts are hybrids and that fits very nicely with the new green initiative of the city. THE MAYOR, being the visionary that he is, imagined a huge go-kart track near the RV park that would provide go-kart rentals for people wanting to ride the river trail. What better way to save money than go directly to the factory and strike a deal. It was quite a smashingly brilliant idea.
When THE MAYOR arrived in the English city via private jet, he immediately spotted a problem and he knew he could save lots of money for his constituents back home.
You see, the name of the community is:
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, Wales.
You will note in the the photo of the test sign THE MAYOR had made by his sign department, they couldn't fit all the letters of the city, much less his name.
THE MAYOR knew immediately that the name would never fit on any of the sister city signs on the Broadway Bridge. This would create a need for special sized signs, which are very expensive. So he got on the jet and proceeded directly to the second possible city on the list.
Middelfart, Denmark was next on the list. They also are known for a go-kart they make that is not quite the stunner as the one from Wales, nor are they hybrids, but it worked out just fine since go-karts get about 80 miles to the gallon anyways. We should be seeing the Middelfart Flyer Go-Karts zipping along the Isabella Jo trail shortly!
This is just another reason a man with this sort of leadership ability needs to be up in D.C.
