Bill boosts scrutiny of state contracts

Lawmakers who are fretting about the climbing costs of legal contracts in several high-profile cases might know more about such contracts under a measure by Sen. Tim Keller in the Senate.

The bill would certainly have shed more light on legal contracts such as the one I wrote about here before they are amended several times, and by millions of dollars.

Watch for the bill, which makes changes at the SIC, ERB and PERA, to gain traction as early as next week.
