Metro’s board is continuing its austerity campaign, having a second round of cold sandwiches during executive sessions after a report in The Washington Examiner on hot lunches featuring salmon and steak.

During their Thursday meeting, the board members lunched on sandwiches and salad from Cosi as they discussed personnel, labor and contractual matters behind closed doors. They had 24 small Harris Teeter cookies, one $1.39 bag of chips and $5.39 worth of sodas, said Metro spokesman Dan Stessel.
