Legislature 2009: Engineering Contracts (Updated)

West Virginia's consulting engineers have come out in force against Gov. Joe Manchin's proposal to change the way they bid for and win state-funded design contracts. The Associated Press sets the stage for Wednesday's public hearing on the legislation.

Updated: As expected, engineers packed the House Chamber for the hearing and lined up to denounce the governor's proposal. Transportation Secretary Paul Mattox represented the administration. AP has details, as does The Charleston Gazette.
