Governor seeks bids considered regardless of notice posting
Governor Marshall plans to urge the new state board of accounts to issue a circular to 1016 township trustees requiring all bids, whether received before or after posting, to be considered in awarding contracts. Bids should be kept for field examiner review, as trustees have sometimes ignored pre posted bids that were lower. Field examiners will review all township bids after applicant examinations at the state house.
