Defendant says she was never pressured by Doyle appointees (AP)

MILWAUKEE – A state purchasing official testified at her fraud trial Thursday she was never pressured by officials appointed by Gov. Jim Doyle to award a state contract to Adelman Travel Group.

Department of Administration purchasing supervisor Georgia Thompson said she disagreed with other contract evaluators who wanted to award the deal to Omega World Travel because they had put too much emphasis on style, not substance, of the proposals.
