MONTGOMERY, Alabama - MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - A legislative oversight committee has
voted to subpoena the records of a company that holds $13 million
in contracts for state computer work even though it has no business
phone listing or Web site.
The Legislature's Contract Review Committee voted 4-1 during a
special meeting Wednesday to subpoena records showing who received
money from the state Finance Department's contract with Paragon
Source LLC. The panel also wants to know what work was done by the
company.
This is the first time the committee has used its power to
subpoena records in the 25 years since it was formed.
The company's president, Janet Lauderdale, did not attend. Her
attorney gave the committee a list of names of about 35 people he
said worked on the contracts, but did not disclose their pay.
