After Two Years of Complaints, County Schedules Last-Minute Kitchen Tour
Why was the Media excluded from "transparency" effort following years of quality concerns
Nothing says "we take senior nutrition seriously" quite like scheduling a crucial kitchen tour with two days notice during the Fourth of July holiday weekend, then excluding the media from what's supposed to be a transparency initiative.
