Free Cake For Media Bugs Blogger

Item: Blogger questions Boise agency’s cake cost: The Greater Boise Auditorium District paid for cakes delivered to news organizations /Statesman; H/T: Treasured Valley ( Daily politics brief )

More Info: Cake sent to Treasure Valley newsrooms as a public-relations gesture was devoured Wednesday, but blogger Dave Frazier criticized the expense incurred by a local government agency. The Greater Boise Auditorium District sent cakes to the Idaho Statesman and other news organizations to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Boise Centre … Executive Director Pat Rice even handed out “birthday cake” on two local morning news programs. The district hired Red Sky Public Relations to pull off the convention center’s birthday party, which includes free cake for the public from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. … Rice said the agreement with Red Sky is for hourly services up to $10,000.

Question: Does blogger Frazier have a legit gripe re: a government agency paying money to send cake to Boise news media?
