Evidently they couldn’t find a place that makes coffee cups in America. Buying from a company that manufactures in this country is too hard?
In case you can’t quite make that out, the coffee cups were made in China
Mote to tipsters: Send better pics!
Next year if the County must buy employees a present, at least find something made in the Country you supposedly represent. The State or County would be even better.
Local chocolate or Beer Nuts not good enough?

UGH – Why are the tax payers required to pay for “presents” any way?
I mean – Aren’t we being reminded of the fact that not everyone follows a religion/belief that celebrates Christmas? (Besides the fact that no one wants another ceramic coffee mug!)
Can they stop wasting our money EVERY CHANCE THEY GET!!

Vaguely recently ISU had a lunch for employees. Some ‘genius’ had the thought that the water bottles they served with the box lunches weren’t environmentally friendly so they sprang for custom ISU pre-filled reusable aluminum travel bottles. Most people who are into ‘the green thing’ probably already have one or more comparable items so don’t need more, and those that aren’t run a decent chance of throwing theirs away, So it’s more sustainable to have people throw away bulky, expensive aluminum bottles than throw away cheap, flimsy plastic ones?

Probably part of the whole “Omnichannel” marketing and logistics China process. Really sickening

When you use a the cheapest option available for your marketing budget/employee gift needs. I bet there’s some local shops that would have and could have made something fantastic, with a bit of pride, from locally sourced products for the employees. Even a bag of peanuts would have been better and helped our local economy.
