Taxpayer suit stubs out deals in road contract case
Horvitz president of Highway Construction testified in a taxpayer's suit to enjoin a county road surface treatment contract worth about 30 600. He said County Commissioner Murray admitted four or five deals to promote certain interests and discussed reelection. Horvitz alleged bias in bids and noted complaints about contracts. He claimed the Lorain Journal would oppose Murray and warned he would sue if bidding was not opened. He indicated possible profits from tied-in waste material transport but said the county could save 25 000 on a separate project. He denied collusion with Commissioner Hillier and said the petition’s conspiracy claim was unfounded. The testimony continued with other officials.
