State employees likely violated some procurement rules in awarding a no-bid contract to a Democratic-connected firm earlier this year to perform contact tracing related to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the findings of a report from Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.
There is no evidence of an intentional violation, though, and there are no criminal penalties ascribed in law for any violation of procurement rules, her office stated in a 29-page investigative report.
Nessel s office also found no evidence anyone involved in the awarding of the contract committed any criminal act, the report states.
“With the benefit of hindsight, there may have been a better way to accomplish the (Department of Health and Human Services ) ultimate purpose but we found no evidence of criminality, Nessel said in a news release.
