State must buy from lowest bidders says attorney general
The attorney general ruled that the state purchasing agent must pay for commodities from the lowest bid. The opinion says if the legislature intended milk control or unfair trade practices to alter this, it would have changed existing laws. Similar rulings apply to state car purchases from dealers selling below cost.
