REPORT QUESTIONS APPROACH BY FLEETCENTER CONCESSIONAIRE

          In a front page report in today's BOSTON HERALD, Robin
     Washington writes that several FleetCenter concession
     vendors "consistently rang up amounts" on cash registers
     "lower than the actual prices" at Celtics games on Friday
     and Monday.  In addition, "another pair worked much" of
     Monday's game "without ringing in any amounts at all."  The
     MA Department of Revenue is "taking a closer look" at
     vending company Sportservice to "see if it is running afoul
     of tax laws."  FleetCenter and Sportservice parent company
     Delaware North spokesperson Karen Liberatore said, "There
     are very, very strict inventory controls in place and
     (Sportservice) knows exactly how many of each item they've
     sold."  Liberatore, on the register "discrepancies": "You
     witnessed some of our veteran workers who are not as
     computer savvy [with the register]" (BOSTON HERALD, 1/12).
