Three print contracts ruled invalid by Arkansas judge
LITTLE ROCK AP Three firms won state printing contracts last December but a Circuit Court judge ruled they had no rights to the jobs. Judge Warren E Wood said International Graphics Inc had the lowest enforceable bid and Bryant’s rejection of that bid was within his discretion. The ruling follows a January finding of law urging judicial deference to the secretary of state. The case stems from Bryant’s Dec 10 decision to reject International Graphics bids on four contracts.

Each would include governor appointees with at least one member from each congressional district. The plan follows growth and differences between Oaklawn Park and West Memphis dog racing franchises.
