New Jersey Sues FHWA In Contractor Ethics Dispute

摘要

New Jersey is asking a federal judge to order the Bush Administration to release federal funds for badly-needed state highway projects after the Federal Highway Administration halted the money in an unusual dispute over contractor ethics. State Attorney General Peter C. Harvey filed suit Jan. 13 in U.S. district court in Trenton to challenge FHWA's position on Executive Order 134, issued by Gov. James E, McGreevey before he left office last November. The order sets new rules on political contributions by state contractors to curb New Jersey's so-called "pay to play" practice.
