Nothing to see here, "aging" means any age and we all know Tasha can be trusted with money, so no witch hunting!

BATON ROUGE - The Metro Council agreed to vote on paying the Council on Aging $480,480 to provide meals for teenagers in juvenile jail as they await trials Wednesday.

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.

quote:

Earlier this month, the mayor's office issued a statement in support of the agreement, saying "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."

Is this statement claiming that they basically spent this much with a different vendor to provide the same service the Council on Aging will provide?

And, if the kitchen is operable; why would I believe it will be cheaper to outsource the job than it would be to use their own kitchen?

Is there any reason besides so someone well connected can profit off it that the Department of Corrections can't handle this and it gets outsourced to an NGO to feed inmates in a DOC facility?

100k for Little Debbie cakes and Snackables, 400k for lining someone’s pockets.

Yeah, that's going to be money well spent. No oversight there.

How many juveniles are in EBRP facilities?

Pretty sure there has been a ton of catch and release due to all the red tape involving juvenile offenders.

Was this put out for bids so that private companies could bid on g to he contract?

We pay taxes to COA to take care of the elderly. Obviously we pay too much, or they wouldn’t have the time of the resources to go in the catering business.
