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?

To be fair, it's probably cheaper to pay one incompetent person to make 2000 gallons of inedible slop, than to pay 2 incompetent people to make a 1000 gallons of inedible slop each.

Now you'll eat the savings up on shipping but now Tasha gets to wet her beak.

From the original article when this was discussed a month ago.
quote:

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.


This new awards appears to be a 600% increase...nothing to see here. Just pass it and move along. No need to do no witch huntin.
