No surprise here, all conferences are just fronts for partying. Our industry's conference was in Vegas this year. No real work done, just an excuse for gambling, drinking, and strippers

Hawaii?

Why couldn't they have it on the mainland? Topeka? Biloxi? Memphis? Houston?


Nah, frick it. Let's take our families to Hawaii!!!!!!!!



Idk, but that most likely wasn't her call. This is a national mayor's conference. I doubt Latoya Cantrell pulled strings to have it in Hawaii.

according to the website, the last time it was in Hawaii was 50 years ago

and if you were Mayor, would you turn it down?

I always love how they drop these stories the morning of or after she leaves town. I guess she doesn't want Zurik waiting on her.

Maybe she can recruit Marriott to bring some more minimum wage jobs.

That said... should public employees not go to conferences? Plus every industry that contracts with the government has special conferences just for the government contractors that are direct and egregious publicly funding networking retreats for private contractors.


that bitch can barely afford to pay her property taxes...how the hell she going to afford to spend a week in Hawaii?

and who's paying for her daughter and husband to fly there and back and their food and hotel?

I would. I care what people think of me. I wouldn't take public funds to pay for my family's vacation.

Even if the city paid my way, I wouldn't allow my family to go. Optics of it are horrible.

The city... duh. Her husband is going to speak on crime reduction and her daughter is speaking on sustaining an award winning public school system

The conference lasts through July 1.

The mayor’s office said Monday (June 24) that Cantrell will be traveling for a “brief family vacation.”


Since when is over a week in Hawaii considered a "brief" family vacation?
