Editorial argues for bidding Official State Newspaper awards
The governor announces that starting July 1 1972 state newspaper awards will be bid based. The change could bring $35 000 to $50 000 or more in state legal ads. Historically awards were political patronage under prior administrations. The editorial notes bids have been proposed for years and cites past practices under Kerner Shapiro and Ogilvie while Lindsay Schaub papers submitted bids without state matching.
