Ahem, Are We Not Filing Contracts on Time?

Via Capitol Fax is a story from the Washington Times about Hynes refusing to pay the bill for flu vaccines that were never imported (though the last few days everyone in my family have been wishing they had).

But the fascinating bit to me is this:

The signed contract with Ecosse didn’t reach the comptroller’s office until Jan. 24, and with flu season half over. Hynes wants to know why the deal was signed.

Under law, contracts are supposed to be submitted within 30 days. So does that mean the contract was signed between Christmas and the 24th? I doubt it.

Most likely it’s a continuing issue of contracts being submitted late as was documented in December in the Register-Star by Aaron Chambers.
