Governor Walsh Opens Hearing On New Dry Dock Contract
Governor Walsh said the hearing before the Governor's Council seeks to determine if a dry dock is necessary and that the state must be protected by specifications, independent of bidders. Lieutenant Harris defended the contract specifics as key to proper execution amid labor leader McNulty's questions and tensions among officials. The session ended with postponement to allow labor delegates to testify in opposition.
