The Mayor seems to have been inappropriately spending tax dollars. All of those lunches he had “by himself” should be investigated. Wonder how attractive this behavior is to businesses who may be considering to locate here. I hope the voters find out…where is the Pantagraph’s reporting on this?
They are right on top of it – expect a story any decade now.

PCard could have been stolen, or employee made unauthorized purchases. Hard to say.
They are living the good life on taxpayer dime.
Wait until you see what Normal is up to! Waiting for FOIA
Hey… they like to eat out and go places…. I do too! I had to bring my lunch when I worked… I could never have afforded to eat a fancy places. Maybe we should buy some lunch boxes and training on how to make a lunch at home using your own food? It is much healthier than eating in restaurants anyway. Going places is fun too.. especially if someone else is paying for it. And it makes you feel like a big shot when you talk to other big shots at Conference XYZ on Micro Aggressions in the workplace. But does any of this make you a better employee/worker/administrator? Not really but it sure makes people think they are important. And for many people, being big shots once in awhile is a great way of distracting people from the horrible jobs they are actually doing.
Renner and Hales have private office space paid for with taxpayer dollars to do city related business. No need for expensive lunches at restaurants.
Everybody send them a can of Spam with a kind note atteached to it that says “Eat Me.”
