New Rumors Arise about Drew Bi-Passing Public Bid Process

Rumor has it Dan Drew has authorized the replacement of the present telephone system for a top end telephone system to be installed at the Town Hall, Fire Departments and Police Station. The cost is rumored to be around $500,000.00. This project is not out for bid and the supplier has already been selected. It is rumored that the owner of the company is a member of a private club that our Mayor was trying to get into, and the company owner got him in.  The present company that maintains their telephone system was given a list of equipment to give them a price on, but the specifications required for the installing company are only supported by the company already selected. The project is already well under way, ignoring the bid process, which would bring a lower price. This would have violate  purchasing rules that states that anything over $7,500.00 must go out to a formal bid. Dan Drew at his best, Tax and Spend!
