Tell me, How can we the tax payer's put a end to this! isn't anyone interested.

I agree 9:14. Isn't the states attorneys office interested in this. This has to be criminal, someone needs to go to jail in my opinion. This is so outrageous it's almost unbelievable.

I think Monique Vestal should really take HER turn to cook! Looks like she has spent enough of the counties money! What kind of meals could you prepare for that kinda money?????????

Where is the state prosecutors office???

What I'd like to know is how many of these days were children actually in school?? This is theft plain and simple.

Looks like we have an agency with no spending controls and absolutely no common sense. Looks as though they perceive the taxpayers dollars as their own personal coffer to use at will with absolutely no fear of accountability and these folks are in charge of educating our children?? This attitude and lifestyle has trickled down from the superintendent and is this pathetic mentality is also supported by the unions. Have we had enough yet??

Nice that EVO is enjoying even more of our tax dollars.

11:03, I'd say WORCESTER COUNTY is enjoying OUR tax dollars even more.

How do they validate buying---
when school isn't in scession?

And---like someone said----What
can the taxpayers of this County
do to bring this before the entire County for an explination ----if there is any???

Does anyone Know How much these
people are allowed to charge &
for what-----Is that in writing???

astonishing that we keep seeing these month after month. Are their ant supervisors that care or are they part of the problem.

It might be Worcester County getting the biggest benefit out of this but rest assured its Wicomico County's FAULT...they allow this unbelievable spending by their employees!! It'd be cheaper to just hire a Chef for the bunch of them!! These employees obviously have NO SHAME! they should have to pay back every penny!!

Monique Vestal is Fredrickson's secretary so her charges are all for him so he won't look bad.

They do have a chef, and servers, at the Civic Center for catering.

I've begun to use this information on best places to eat, make certain purchases etc. Can't do anything about it, might as well make it work for me.

former BOE employee said...

Monique Vestal is not Dr. F's secretary. She is the secretary to the Board. Eastside Deli and My Turn to Cook are usually used for conference lunches.

Yes, the BOE is very wasteful. I have seen it first hand.

Do not blame the secretaries. They have families to support and have to do as they are told. If you question your boss or let people know they are not doing what they are supposed to be do - you get fired.

I know.

There's a callous arrogance involved. Accountability begins with the Board of Ed...who sadly are not elected because of blocks crafted by Conway, Cane, and Mathias. These O'malley appointees have no fear of the voters as they simply advocate for the BOE. Get an elected school board...and hold the County Executive accountable November 4th. No excuses!

What can you do to stop this, maybe nothing however you can show up at a county council meeting let them know how you feel you will be on pac 14 so more people will see what is going on.
