In one class today a student brought up a recent story about seemingly exorbitant spending on food and drinks at by the Justice Department at law enforcement conferences. Here are links about the story.
- No more $16 muffins for you! The author points out the discovery was made by the Inspector General and the Office of Management and Budget (both executive offices) has told all federal agencies to review conference costs.
- The Great $16 Muffin Myth. This author thinks the story has been misrepresented and overblown.
- $16 muffins? No, says Hilton. The hotel says they didn't charge that much.
Good media story though.
