Living It Up At The Justice Department

Fox News is reporting today about some of the spending for Justice Department events from October 2007 and September 2009.

The article reports:

The Justice Department implemented a new conference policy in April 2008 after a previous audit found wasteful spending at events held between October 2004 and September 2006. Among the examples were $53-per-person lunches and a $60,000 reception that served Swedish meatballs at $5 a piece.

I guess the new policy was not overly successful. The article further reports:

In 2008 and 2009, the department hosted or participated in 1,832 conferences costing $121 million.

At a Washington, D.C., legal conference, the department spent $4,200 on 250 muffins — or more than $16 apiece, the report said.

At another conference, the department’s Office on Violence Against Women spent $65 per person at a lunch for 65 people. Coffee cost more than $1 an ounce. A snack break at the same conference cost $32 per person for Cracker Jack, popcorn and candy bars.

I think I want to go into the business of catering for the Justice Department.
