Minster Spends $4,100 per word on New Slogan

March 31, 2008 |

 I would have done it for a measly $5,000. But remember Government knows best how spend our money.

As far as wasting taxpayer money goes, we have to give the Auglaize County village of Minster credit. Not many people would spend more than $16,000 to come up with this slogan: “Minster: A Great Community.”

But, as The (Celina) Daily Standard reported last week, a group of Minster organizations — including village officials — split the cost to hire a Minnesota marketing company to “brand” their community. And, if you missed it, Minster is a great community. Many people living in this part of Ohio would describe their hometowns as such. Fortunately, most of us don’t have elected representatives who see fit to spend taxpayers’ part of $16,450 to get “Your Hometown Here: A Great Community.”

(Including their village name, Minster officials paid $4,112.50 per word in their new slogan.)
