(HuffingtonPost) - The federal government spent an extra $10 million to relocate the tracks of the famed Napa Valley Wine Train tourist attraction here because it didn’t seek competitive bids, according to lawsuit testimony.
Two fired executives who worked on the $79.2 million flood control project in downtown Napa testified that taxpayers had paid a hefty premium for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ decision to forgo competitive bidding.
