The modular unit to be used for the Veteran's Museum, the services for an alternative city hall addition to be used as a senior center, and the services for the Complete Streets plan as $20,000 contract were all also not out out to bid to our knowledge. We hope to be able to find answers.Middletown Insiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242085742226763775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239070883775529047.post-32914558652179269052013-04-15T20:20:08.057-04:002013-04-15T20:20:08.057-04:00The BOE is breaking all kinds of rules - latest is...The BOE is breaking all kinds of rules - latest is they handed over management of the cafeterias (not a bad thing) to Sodexho without going out to bid.

Oneill case. It means that no one school (i.e. MacDonough) can have a minority rate 20% higher than the townwide average. <br /> When the number of students involved is under fifty, you can spot redistrict, versus redoing all the districts lack happened last time.<br /> So, MacDonough got a little too dark, and moving these kids to (White like) Snow and Farm Hill will put the City back into compliance.John K.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239070883775529047.post-1316531856044198202013-04-11T18:35:56.702-04:002013-04-11T18:35:56.702-04:00Why would you send capt coverup aka chief make it ...Why would you send capt coverup aka chief make it up as I go, anywhere?
