REVISED: CLICK HERE TO WRITE YOUR ON-LINE LETTER URGING THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO INVESTIGATE SODEXO
For reasons outlined in my earlier post on Sodexo--namely that they may be fraudulently overcharging our school district (and therefore, the voting taxpayers) for food services as they were found to have been doing in New York--I hope that a lot of people will be able to make it to this letter-writing party, hosted by Cosmic Cup on College Hill. The New York investigation led to a $20 million settlement, and Sodexo is currently under investigation in New Jersey, as well.
In times like these when our school district's budget is in crisis and we need to find waste to cut and recover money anywhere we can, it seems urgent and obvious that we need to urge our Governor-elect, Tom Corbett, to investigate Sodexo as well.
I hope to see you there!

I know wholesale prices of food meats.fish.vegetables...I think we could feed our children cheaper and much healthier tha these companies out there..........I love U NOEL......tunsie
as i understand it, they were accused in NY of bullying vendors into giving them rebates to have access to the schools and then pocketing the rebate for themselves while charging the school district more...we need to find out if this has been happening here, because is the state of PA sues and they settle here, we might be able to get some money back. our district's budget is so tight right now we have to be vigilant about routing out all waste before letting teachers go, like we did last year.
closed door deals and bullying are a hard case to prove..because it involves some benefitting motive on both parts...so they may not say it because they may implicate more than they would like uncovered......The real issue is the children here....I really think they could be eating healthier...If we start teaching kids to eat right at an early age,they will not be adults with ill health trying to break bad eating habits.........I love you noel....tunsie
noel is my favouritist in the whole widest world.....Tunsie
Sodexo is shady...at Easton Hospital's cafeteria and coffee shop, they charge sales tax for items that shouldn't be charged sales tax...like bottled soda/water , chips, & other items they didn't prepare for me. I wonder if the state gets that money...
if they ARE in fact charging sales tax on food then that should be reported to the state!
BUT, you have to be sure you know what you're talking about; sales tax is funny in the restaurant business, like in MCD's the tax is different if you eat in or go to the drive thru.
