Summary
Councilman Krueger questioned whether spending $20,000–$24,000 a year on trade missions to Britain and Ireland is worth it, noting only about 23 jobs have come from those countries while Mentor's largest foreign employers are Italian and German. Staff defended the program, pointing to Balmoral Tanks publicity and an inbound delegation coming in late September.
