they built one of the most expensive restaurants in the area right across the street, so the government employees don't have to travel far to those yummy, tax payer paid lunches.

Nobody's buying my lunch. Am I working for the wrong agency? (/irriation off)

From that, I take it your a government employee.

What I meant was these government employee's that are crowding this very expensive restaurant across from the beautiful new city hall facility, are buy their expensive lunches with their compensation from the tax payers. Are the tax payers in your area not paying for the government employee's wages, salaries and benefits?

Did you not read this article? Do you see nothing wrong here?

Thank you for explaining what you meant. It sounded like we all had expense accounts or something.

Yes, I read the article. Forgive me if I resent being lumped into the category of overpaid, underworked, unmotivated lazy non-workers by most of the posters responding to the article.

Tax payers fund your lunches, too.
