From KMBBB (formerly BrazosRiver.com): Kick-backs fort bend county style! -- This will be a Susan B. classic! --

June 27 - Okay, so here’s the deal. A construction company sent their writ twit to commissioner’s court yesterday to let the public know that the low bidder did not get the contract on the new jail.

Attorney Greg Travis told court members on Tuesday that his client, Cornerstone Detention Products Inc. of Tanner, Ala., submitted a low bid of $6.63 million to construct the jail cells. However, he said he has been informed that San Antonio Contractor CCC Group, which submitted the high bid of $6.98 million for the work, is being awarded the contract.

Oh, shock and awe! You mean commissioners played favorites with vendors to the county? Well, I’ll be a toad frog on a pool table. That’s just shocking, shocking I tell you. . . (get this full OP/ED piece on how many politicians in our county & cities operate by clicking on the title link above).
