I don’t think Merchant has asked him how his and Nathan’s firm got the Fulton Co. contracts. I’d be asking if there was in a competitive bid process, and I’d have the County’s paperwork showing the s of all bidders and their respective dollar bids.
I think he said it was “proposed”. He didn’t say by whom. It’s becoming clear that Wade was a go-between the hired and the hirer who was the cash cow for which the go-between got a third and the hired might have also benefitted by trips and gifts given her by the go-between.
