GR firm wins Muskegon school district's copier bid
"A Grand Rapids firm has won a bid to sell $191,000 in new digital copiers to Muskegon Public Schools.
IKON Office Solutions submitted the low bid of $190,950....... Office Machines Co., a Muskegon vendor with which the school district has done business for 'many, many years,' submitted a bid that was $38,000 higher than IKON's, Privasky said."

Interesting.
The long time local vendor submits a losing quote that's 20% higher than a company 40 miles away and the incurious reporter doesn't ask about the past quoting process.

And this article is hardly intended to support the Muskegon school's move to reduce costs.

Kudos to the MHS board.

And sad The Chronicle is continuing its death spiral.
