Mayor in Florida Town considers Ban on Chinese goods

[Hippie Staff]

The ordinance would prevent the city from buying any items costing more than $50 that are manufactured or assembled in China or that contain more than 50 percent components from China. Exceptions are for emergency purchases, if the item is not available otherwise or if the cost is more than 150 percent higher.

Do you think this will get support, or work?

didn't read the link, but i do support something like this, however based on most of the crap quality stuff and lead painted toys i would bet they could produce a lot of things under $50
