$200,000 versus $2.5 Million

Down at the Charlotte Observer they’re lamenting – editorially – about the state using no bid contracts to buy $200,000 in equipment from Senate Democratic Leader Tony Rand’s company. (They also point out Governor Perdue, former Governor Easley, the former Secretary of Transportation and the former head of the Division of Motor Vehicles all own stock in the company.)
 
But what about Governor Perdue’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, Lanier Cansler, giving out $250 million in no bid contracts? He’s given no bid contracts to his former clients, his former lobbying firm’s clients, and companies partnered with his wife’s lobbying firm’s clients.
