No-bid contract still a non-story

Eye On Wisconsin continues to needle the Journal Sentinel over its lack of interest in writing about questionable contracts awarded by Milwaukee County to a low-ranked firm whose execs are donors to County Exec Scott Walker.

The facts and circumstances, he says, are worse than those in the award of a state contract to Adelman Travel, to which the JS has devoted barrels of ink and some top-line headlines. The county even gave a $250,000 no-bid contract to the firm. (That's as big as the Adelman contract and there were no bids at all.)

It is worth the effort to try to shame them into some coverage. But I fear the Eye will find that to really get the newspaper's attention you need more than a blog. You need a radio station.
