Lawsuit Filed to Stop $13M Contract

A legislative oversight committee appeared in an Alabama court on Thursday to halt a thirteen million dollar no-bid computer contract. The contract was between Governor Bob Riley’s administration and a company with no listed business number and no web site. The Legislature’s Contract Review Committee and its Chairman, Rep. Alvin Homles D-Ala., filed the suit in Montgomery County Circuit Court against the governor and the company, Paragon Source LLC.

Jeff Emerson, the communications director for the Republican governor, said that the lawsuit constituted political maneuvering by the Democrats on the Contract Review Committee. “The evidence produced to the committee supports a conclusion that the … contracts were entered into in violation of Alabama’s Competitive Bid Law and are void as a matter of law,” the lawsuit said.
