Does this mean that Shays will walk like an Egyptian?
"Shays It Aint So Chris!"

Why does this guy think he's entitled to go to Egypt for a "World Economic Forum"? Aren't we having enough economic problems right here for him?? What a waste of taxpayer money this is. Bloated bag of protoplasm.

We should have become Politicians! Free trips free mailings, cheap haircuts at the Capitol barber shop. The dinners there are also very low in cost..lobster..steak..shrimp.. and what does a Politician do all day but blow hot air..What a cushy job! The sad part is all us hard working people elect these Smucks to do nothing while we work.Chris moved from a million dollar House in Stamford to the best part of Bridgeport to be one of the "People". He can never be like everyone else. He was born with a Silver Spoon in his mouth and where he lives now most people in Ct could not afford to live there.! Someone should count up all the trips he has taken while in office and let us know the amount it cost the taxpayers . I bet a whole lot of more important things could be done with the money !
