Illegal Immigrants in Massachusetts Dine From “Home-Style Italian” Caterer After $10 Million No-Bid Contract
Spinelli’s in East Boston has won a $10M no-bid contract to cater shelters housing illegal immigrants
In 1983, Massachusetts passed a “first of its kind in the country” Right to Shelter law after a promise from then-governor Michael Dukakis, according to Boston University. The law guaranteed housing and certain amenities for families. Among the stipulations of that law, those families must be provided with refrigeration and basic cooking facilities.
But some of the facilities being utilized for illegal immigrant housing do not have such accommodations as required by law. In order to comply with the state law, Massachusetts has reportedly entered into a no-bid contract with a local Boston “full-service drop-off catering company with 30 years’ experience”: Spinelli Ravioli Manufacturing Company.
