Taxpayers Fund Mayor Drew's trip to D.C.

Mayor Dan Drew goes to Washington DC on our dime.

Last week Mayor Dan Drew went to meet with Representatives Rosa DeLaura and Richard Blumenthal in Washington D.C. to "fast track" the City's acquisition of  property on Mile Lane, called a "surplus federal property." Unfortunately the Mayor had not heard of the recent invention of the conference call. This trip also happened to correspond nicely with cherry blossom season at the capital. Meanwhile, while the mayor was out rubbing elbows with the political up & coming, the BOE administration of Middletown collapsed. In order to receive this property from FEMA, Drew presented documents state"adequate funds" to bond a  fire training school on the site.  Drew is quoted as stating that such a facility will attract firefighters from all over the world who will shop here. Really Dan?? The article was in the Press here last week with accompanying documents. What the Insider wants to know is who will pay for this facility??  We will give you three guesses!
