Newsom's 'Competitive Bid' Diaper Deal

from Philip Teresi · host KMJ

The CBS investigation concludes that the Baby2Baby diaper contract was officially classified by California as non-competitively bid, despite public statements suggesting otherwise. More importantly, CBS says the diaper contract exposed a much larger issue: over $1 billion in state spending authorized through special exemptions that bypass normal competitive contracting rules, raising questions about transparency, oversight, and how frequently California relies on no-bid contracting authority.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
