STATEMENT ON MAYOR’S SNAPPLE APPROVAL – 4-13-04

 

I have received the Mayor’s letter deeming the citywide Snapple contract registered, and I am reviewing that document.

However, I remain troubled by the process by which Snapple was selected. As I stated last month when I rejected the contract naming Snapple as the City’s exclusive beverage vendor, Snapple was selected through a tainted process with a predetermined outcome that was not the best deal for the City of New York.

I am investigating legal options to ensure that the City gets the best deal.
