A federal grand jury indicted a Doyle administration employee Tuesday on two felony counts for her role in awarding a travel contract to a company whose executives donated $20,000 to the governor, saying she wanted to “cause political advantage for her supervisors.”
The indictment alleges Georgia Thompson, who was hired in the previous Republican administration and serves as chief of the Department of Administration’s procurement bureau, was also trying to help her own job security.
But the indictment does not mention anyone else, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office cautioned in a release that the indictment applies only to Thompson and does not allege wrongdoing by any others.
