Rare tie bids for Muskegon County contracts could be decided by a coin toss | MLive.com
Hammersley said the policy change on bidding wasn’t related to the advent of more than $30 million in government contracts anticipated as a part of construction of the planned Muskegon County Jail.
Wait a minute!
Flipping a coin is a cute trick but you missed the bigger story.
The county commissioners voted on an amendment to the self-imposed "prevailing wage" burden that will cost county taxpayers millions of dollars if it is forced on bidders for the new jail.
It was a confirmation by every county commissioner (except Susie Hughes) that Muskegon will continue to march with failed counties like Wayne and Genesee in this prevailing wage rip-off of large and small contractors and the public.
Incredible.
I know you weren't at the meeting but the change was published (and highlighted!) and the entire meeting was recorded and is easily available at EyeOnMuskegon.com.
