Truck Bid Controversy Faces Syracuse Officials
Robert J. Purcell, speaking for the Syracuse Automobile Dealers, accuses Mayor Costello and Corporation Counsel Hornbeck of using the latest city truck bids as a wedge to buy vehicles off the open market. He says the city rejected bids for five ash trucks costing about 25,000 and then sought bids elsewhere for over 200,900 in trucks, bypassing competitive bidding and local dealers. Purcell urges honoring local industry and questions Waite, the purchasing commissioner, about patronizing national suppliers.
