“Rep. Brenda Lawrence’s office is also involved. She plans on eating with the Michigan National Guard this week to see the food for herself. Sen. Gary Peters said he’ll also be looking into the claims following the 7 Action News story. “
If they were serious, they’d pay a surprise visit to the commissary. This is giving them time to clean it up for the visit, and then letting the food go to hell again after they’re gone.
If she were serious, she’d have done it without announcing it in a press release beforehand. This is just to give the illusion she’s ‘doing something’ for the troops.
The incompetency is astounding. The Headquarters of the National Guard Bureau is within spitting distance of the capitol, and it is headed by a 4-star general. They’ve known about the food and billeting issues for weeks, yet they can’t fix it? A 4-star HQ? Somebody needs to go.
