Update: The City promptly replied to my FOIA for missing information
I amended the information received below in BOLD. See the receipts here: 201503241124_Redacted Even if only one person ate, why are taxpayers paying the bill? Does your boss pay for your lunch?

ADMIN City Council Expenses American AI $ 384.20 Airfare ‐ T. Renner, One Voice Conf., Washington DC ‐ March 3‐5, 2015
Just airfare – this is when Renner went to DC to lobby for mental health dollars. (I hope our reps didn’t know this is the guy who calls people he doesn’t agree with “off their meds”. )

If the City of Bloomington really wanted to be transparent, incomplete entries won’t be allowed. Yes, I’m filing a FOIA for the missing data.
Some say there is no free lunch – Liberals pile on at every opportunity!

It’s not just liberals, Jim. Aaron Schock?
Schock was never a conservative, so the shoe still fits.
True. Bad example. All politicians in general feed off the same “free” trough.
Why does this guy get to go to lunch on the taxpayers dime? ‘Business lunch’? Conduct city business in your office. Taxpayers are already paying for that. And…pay for your own lunch.

Receipts received!
As rude and crude as Renner is, I bet he talks with food in his mouth.
