WASHINGTON — Muffins: $16 apiece. Coffee: more than a dollar an ounce. Snacks: $32 per person.
A report issued Tuesday by the Justice Department’s inspector general found excessive spending on food and beverages in an audit of 10 department conferences.
Justice spent about $490,000 on food and beverages at the conferences — more than 10 percent of the $4.4 million total cost of the events.
In response, the Justice Department concurred with the IG’s recommendations to more closely monitor costs.

Read the report..at one conference, the Department paid $5.57 per can of soda and $.65 PER OUNCE for coffee.
Kinda reminds me of all the crap that the Democrats heaped on the Kellogg, Brown and Root subsidiary of Halliburton for charging $45/case (less than $2/can) for soda delivered in Iraq. And in a war zone for, Christ’s sake.
