You are sadly naive if you really believe that all bid requests are truly open. Government entities often "tailor" bid requests in order to suit favored contractors. Six companies may have placed bids, but anyone who has fallowed this story from start to finish knew that STV would be the winner.

You falsely equate "ethical" with "legal." Please pay more attention to your own arguments if nothing else. Disclosure does not equal "ethical," and doesn't even necessarily equal "legal."

You've made only made assertions, proving nothing in contradiction to the original post.

Disclosure does not equal "ethical," and doesn't even necessarily equal "legal."

Right. So when contractor STV makes a publically disclosed contribution to the pro-Metro PAC you complain it's unethical, and when non-disclosed contributions are made to the anti-Metro PAC, (some by companies and individuals that stand to profit by the bond refernedum's defeat) you say and do nothing?

Where's the outrage from the civic minded citizens about the millions of dollars raised from unknown sources to run the slick television ad campaign against the Metro Bond? Or doesn't your sense of moral outrage extend beyond those positions you disagree with?

Please pay more attention to your own arguments if nothing else. (lol).

As has been explained to you before, STV, as the major contrator overseeing the original project, was in a strong position to win the new project bid. The fact that some sh**kicker predicted it would happen (and claimed it was an original find) is...meaningless.
