Update: Monday, 1:56 p.m. -- Michigan AFSCME Council 25 is urgin Gov. Rick Snyder to terminate the food service contract with the new contractor, Trinity Services, and have the service provided by state government employees. The union says contractors have a poor record of service.
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and then expecting a different result,” Ed McNeil, special assistant to the president of Michigan AFSCME Council 25, said in a statement. “This is a different company but we will get the same result – poor service for the money state taxpayers are spending.”

Let's face it: Aramark doesn't always get great grades when it serves businesses and institutions.
Then there's prisons. As they say in Brooklyn: Fuhget about it.
Gov. Rick Snyder’s administration has had enough of a troublesome $145-million deal with Aramark Correctional Services, which is replaced with Trinity Services Group, Chad Livengood reports:
Philadelphia-based Aramark’s contract to serve food to Michigan’s 45,000 inmates has been riddled with problems. They ranged from maggots found in kitchen areas to rodent-nibbled cake and incidents of workers engaging in sex acts with prisoners, smuggling drugs to inmates and, in one case, allegedly conspiring in a murder-to-hire plot.
Each side agreed to end the contract, according to the paper.
