LANSING — More than three-fifths of Michiganders want to end the state's contract with Aramark, the private company working in the kitchens of the state's prisons. According to numbers released Wednesday by Public Policy Polling, a poll of more than 1,000 Michigan voters showed 62 percent of respondents want Gov. Rick Snyder to cancel the state's three-year $145 million contract with Aramark. Michigan Department of Corrections spokesman Chris Gautz said the department respects concerns about Aramark's work, but said the poll wouldn't result in much change. "We don't use political polls to help us make decisions on contracts," Gautz sad. Aramark's time with the state has been marked by controversy.
