Move Along, Folks, Nothing To See Here 0
Something to do with not being able to see through all the transparency:
Paul Lanteigne got right to work for his new company.
Within days of stepping down as Virginia Beach sheriff in December, he began exchanging e-mails and documents with former subordinates about a multi million-dollar contract that would soon be up for grabs.
Some of the information high-ranking officials in the Sheriff’s Office passed onto their former boss was available to anyone. But some was not, such as drafts of bid specifications for the contract, which Lanteigne received weeks before other competitors, e-mails and other documents obtained by The Virginian-Pilot show.
No laws were broken. According to the story,
Procurement experts interviewed by The Pilot agreed that providing early bid specifications to one company doesn’t violate Virginia law but said it’s not consistent with industry standards and discouraged the practice because it could provide competitive advantage.
er, yeah.
