County Officials Denied Moral Obligation Payment
Common Pleas Judge John Bolin denied five county officials a request to pay Ohio Bridge Co. 60556 as a moral obligation for the Rome Two and Frost bridge work done in 1963. The ruling bars bypassing bidding requirements and warns that approving such payments would condone shifting from advertised contracts. The decision preserves existing injunctions against paying the firm without bids.
