The campaigns of both of Gov. Jim Doyle’s potential Republican opponents in the 2006 election called Friday for the administration to rebid a state contract awarded to a travel agency whose executives donated money to his re-election campaign.
Doyle again rejected the calls to rebid the contract awarded to Glendale-based Adelman Travel Group.
Local, state and federal authorities are investigating the process for awarding the three-year contract to issue airline tickets for state employees. The probe announced Thursday will look into whether $20,000 in donations from Adelman executives played any role in the contract, which could be worth $250,000 a year.
