The T-P’s recap is here.
The Advocate’s post is here.
In addition to describing the numerous questions surrounding
the bid, The Advocate takes it a step further stating that the City has flip-flopped on its position and, contrary to Mayor
Yenni’s contention, this contract will not save the city money.
“Chief
Administrative Officer Mike Quigley said that in previous contracts with
Taylor, which were not bid, the city spent less than $40,000. However, that
figure is at odds with the city’s prior contention that this deal represented a
cost savings for Kenner.”
Earlier, in the
Times-Picayune, Mayor Yenni said:
"We're doing this in an effort to save the city money.”
Mark Twain said, “If you tell the truth, you don't have to
remember anything.” I think that is a lesson that the Yenni Administration has
yet to learn.
