Department of Administration Deputy Secretary Gina Frank-Reese told 27 News she was never told about dissatisfaction with the process used to pick Milwaukee-based Adelman Travel for a lucrative state contract, despite claims to the contrary by top UW-System officials.
A March 8 e-mail from UW-System Assistant Vice President Doug Hendrix to members of a contract evaluating committee indicates that System Vice President Deborah Durcan was instructed to protest the travel contract process: “Debbie will verbally communicate our dissatisfaction with the process to a higher level within DOA.”
