Council to consider $1.7m in no-bid contracts

Bob Sanders at New Hampshire Business Review continues his investigation into no-bid contracts.
Wednesday, September 23, 2009

New Hampshire's Executive Council is expected to vote on spending $1.7 million on 18 no-bid contracts when it meets today in Warren.

Today, 18 of the 119 items on the council's agenda are labeled as sole source. (more)
