A two-week trip overseas cost the City of Statesboro more money in the form of internet fees than a city councilman paid for the entire voyage. During a 14-day vacation to China in May, Councilman Will Britt accumulated approximately $2,600 of charges on a Mifi Wireless Internet Card provided him by the city. Britt, who claimed to have used the wireless card for routine personal and work-related activities, said charges were inadvertently amassed and plans to repay any amount deemed necessary by City Manager Frank Parker and staff.
