There is Such a Thing as a Free Lunch, I Guess, If You're A Government Employee

I used to think there was no such thing as a free lunch, but, it hasn’t been true here in Grand Rapids, Michigan, evidently.  The city spent 64K last year on lunches for employees.  What I find even more outraegous than this fact, is the following justification statement from Assistant City Manager Greg Sundstrom.

"We’re a big business,” he said. “Our expenses are not inappropriate or irresponsible."

I think Mr. Sundstrom is in need of some remedial economic training, if he does not realize the difference between a business and a government bureaucracy.

“City’s meal tab too high, Tormala says."
