These are FOOD costs only?

Are there charges in other categories that should be scrutinized as well?

Are you able to get more recent data of this spending (say, since you started publishing these expenses)?

There's a lot more waste than this past history in Pollitt's proposed budget -- as Joe Holloway and Bob Culver have pointed out at the work sessions during the past weeks -- you can see them on PAc 14.

The others, including Matt Holloway and Prettyman, have opposed cutting most of the waste and also support raising taxes like Pollitt wants.

Hogs at the trough...again.

This is old stuff but for God's Sake, Ms. Handy...who were you buying for?

Pigs at the public trough. Their $9/HR secretaries and file clerks have to buy their own lunch. It seems as if the more money you make as a public employee, the more money you get to steal, cheat, and manipulate.
They SHOULD be ashamed, but shame is not anything they are familiar with....
Stealing? Lying? Cheating? Falsifying reports? No integrity? No sense of propriety?
Check, check, check , and check.
We should be hanging them.

9:49 I guess we shouldn't expect accountability for our tax dollars? And, it's not a dead horse, if they're still doing it, genius.

Lot of eating goes on in this county. No wonder nothing productive is being accomplished.

As a retired State employee, I can tell you nothing like this was approved unless you were on an overnight meeting. This group, especially the executive office, is unbelievable. We must change the head of the monster, in order to rein in this fraud to show how we resent the way our tax dollars are used.

The biggest sins are the smallest. One person $5+ burnt coffee, single person lunch. That's just too bold.

I guess Rick Pollitt is doing his grocery shopping on the Tax Payer Credit card now days.

They ate quite "well". Paying more attention now than when you were in school, eh?
