Shapp Contributor Got Pa. Contract?
An engineer tied to Gov. Milton Shapp's 1970 campaign reportedly received a 75000 no bid state contract for flood recovery work. The Philadelphia Inquirer traced efforts by state Democrats to secure it, with Baker Jr. Engineering firm benefiting after months of pressure from officials. Shapp and aides deny undue influence and say no clear changes to the flood plan. Shapp faces a grand jury appearance in October to address the matter.
