IDOT Faces Scrutiny Over License Plate Contract
IDOT considers extending a contract with 3M for license plates, a move critics say lacks competitive bidding. Sen Gettings questions the 77 cent price gap vs Flex-O-Lite, while Attorney General may face defense of the decision as costs could total up to 5 million over six years. IDOT cites past practice and unique plate features as justification. Catherine Dunn says the decision was appropriate and Gov Branstad says he was only consulted on scenic aspects.
