Non-competitive federal contracts skyrocket under Bush.

$145 billion in federal contracts were awarded without competitive bidding in fiscal 2005, more than double the $67 billion in fiscal 2000. Yet at the same time, “ailures of oversight into contracting procedures have made it possible for fraud, cronyism, and corruption to become prevalent in government,” according to a new report by Center for American Progress Senior Fellow Scott Lilly.



The report will be released on Monday at an event featuring Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA). If you live in the Washington, DC, area, RSVP for the event HERE.
