Jury hears travel contract tales (AP)

MILWAUKEE – A travel consultant testified today he objected to a state purchasing official’s plan to add an additional step to the process used to award a major travel contract.

On the second day of Georgia Thompson’s trial on fraud charges, travel consultant Ian Thomas said he told Thompson in an e-mail he disagreed with the decision to pit Omega World Travel and Adelman Travel Group against each other in a tiebreaker after an initial evaluation showed Omega leading Adelman by 21 points on a 1,200-point scale.
