I am surprised that Fred Richardson and Mayor Jones aren’t going with him. After all, they LOVE frivilously spending taxpayers dollars. Maybe they could pitch the giant moonpie idea to the Aussies.

He could also bring back a Multi Billion Dollar industrial project which would hire thousands of undocumented “cheap” laborers.  He may even give the company a half of billion dollars in Tax dollar incentives to come here.  Too bad Mobile doesn’t have something like that happening around here because it would change the face of the city with an explosion of new home sales, new apartment complexes going up, new shopping centers and grocery stores being built and the list continues….....WRONG…I speaka NO engli.

sure boss. industry hunting in australia. have a nice trip and bring me back a shirt. “My govenor went to australia with a bunch of his buddies on the taxpayer dime and all i got was this lousy t shirt”
