The Council and Hales are not the only City employees eating off taxpayers. HR also does.
So the Ecology Action Center does business with Walmart to by high fructose laden snow cone syrup. OMG it screams hypocrisy!
Where can I get a taxpayer funded credit card ?
Maybe we should take some of potted plants out for lunch. Is that all it takes for a favorable vote?
Off topic…wonder how this will affect the Budget Task Force’s recommendations.

They offered bullet points. No real recommendations that I could see. A four year old can do bullet points. Waste of time. The Citizens Budget Summit offered more ideas and recommendations in a couple of hours but they didn’t agree with tyrant tari’s regime so swept under the rug and ignored.
Selling the Golf Courses was recommended by the BTF. Now the City has a 5 year contract for tournaments. Does the right hand know what the left hand is doing?
More spending on the way?!?!?!

I have to wonder if at the administrative professional development lunch at Biaggi’s between Hales and Alderman Painter, did Joni pick up the tip? Let’s see, a 15% gratuity of a $18.12 bill, what is that? $27.18, right?
Have they ever heard of McDonald’s? Oh, not their cup of tea or below their level I guess.
ADMIN Prof Develop Biaggi’s $ 67.91 Business dinner for D. Hales & Lynn Montei
I’d like to see a break down of this expense. I’ve been there myself with someone else numerous times and have never came to that amount.
Send a FOIA for the receipt!
I often wonder, have ANY of these folks EVER heard of taking a BAG LUNCH to work? You can put in a couple of ham salad sandwiches from College Hills Meat, some chips, a fruit, and other stuff and make a HECK of a lunch for UNDER $5 a person! Why then does Tari and cohorts choose to eat off a BAD menu? Sage has ALWAYS been a FAT SOB-even at BHS, and Joni looks sickly as can be, and David H does NOT need any more food. and it don’t help Tari in the LEAST bit with his thinking. So WHY do they go out and stuff their pieholes? Let’s get a movement going and send them a bag a day for lunch-NO EXCUSES!
