Executive Council Sued Over State House Contract Award
Governor Leesy and other state officers face a district court suit seeking to halt the award of a paving contract for state house walks. Watson & Co, the lowest bidder at two cents per square yard, contests the decision favoring Gilson Asphalt Co citing inexperience and council’s reliance on Sedulla paving tests. The council, led by a decision to prefer Gilson, backed the award as an experimental choice despite the bid difference.
