On her "Not Really News" blog, long-time Lewiston Tribune reporter Sandra Lee offers this motion from the Central Orchards Sewer District board minutes, word for word: "Manager Larsen asked the board about purchasing holiday turkeys and hams. After some discussion, Director Berger moved to purchase holiday turkeys and hams for the Board of Directors, District Employees and Attorney Tony Anegon. Director Meredith seconded the motion. The motion passed unopposed.” Sandra also mentions that the levy for property tax by the COSD has just gone up from $10 to $13 per month and that the Lewiston Orchards Sewer District board doesn't provide free turkeys and ham to employees, board members, or its attorney. Then: "It still seems a bit strange to be giving people on the public payroll — and their attorney — a holiday freebie when customer prices are going up." Sandra Lee's full post here.

Question: Do you agree with Sandra that public boards shouldn't be handing out turkeys & hams to employees, board members, and its attorney? And/or: Do you get a free turkey or ham from your business for Christmas or Thanksgiving?
