Is this the COA's new grift ?

BATON ROUGE - Later this month, the Metro Council could vote on paying the Council on Aging $480,480 to provide meals for teenagers in juvenile jail as they await trials.
If passed, the allotted amount will feed the teens from Feb. 1 to Dec. 31, 2024. The council also has the option of extending that contract with the Council on Aging through the end of 2025.
According to the Mayor's office, the juvenile jail and kitchen services have had issues with staffing. They have managed to feed the juveniles through outside, satellite vendors.
Through document's we've obtained, $7,200 were paid to AYCE Catering in November and another $6,600 in December. AYCE Catering shares the same address as the Boil & Roux restaurant on Coursey Blvd.
Also in December, the EBR Council on Aging received $26,000 and again in January.
The jail is now about 70 years old. After several escapes and overcrowding issues, there has been a push to build a new juvenile jail.
"We also have to think futuristically and we need a new facility, that's the bottom line," Mayor President Sharon Weston Broome said.
Ultimately, constructing a new facility comes down to funding.
"Undoubtedly, we need a revenue stream to make this happen. Not only do we need a new juvenile detention center, we also need a new EBR Parish jail," Broome said.
In a statement from the Mayor's office, "this agreement will provide consistent and timely services at no additional cost to City-Parish and will have no impact on employees. The kitchen at the detention center is operable and will be used when needed."

It’s not the role of government to feed people. Let charities and churches do this.

Obese teens get more obese.
Who actually believes anyone in America is starving?
Even the illegals from supposedly "horrible" countries are chunky and plump.I

Give a kid a meal and you feed him for a day
Give a kid a meal and a Gordon bike and he can go rob a nice neighborhood

This has always been a Democrat slush fund from the beginning.
So rather than pay these vendors $85,000/year, we're going to pay the COA $500,000?
This is fricking insanity

Let’s say it costs $8,000 a month to use outside vendors. That’s $96,000/year.
Why the hell do they need $500,000?

Wait a sec…. Doesn’t the COA already get an obscene amount of money that we are taxed for??? What we are witnessing here is nothing more than organized crime being run by these politicians. They’re all in bed together from the mayor on down.
The COA already got caught trying to steal a woman’s house, inheritance to her kids, and everything else worth a dollar. There was a judge involved in the scam.

How many kids are there?
Seems like an important metric they made sure to leave out

Surely this isn’t a grift to keep some crooked judges daughter paid well on the tax payers dime. Who runs this council on aging?

Yes the judge is the head of the COA's mom but that didn't have anything to do with it

In all seriousness, EBR tax-paying citizens should revolt.
