Judge: UDWR acted unlawfully, judge says
Salt Lake City ? An order filed in 3rd District Court on Thursday vacated the awardance of a 5 year Hunting Expo contract and 200 associated big game tags to Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife (SFW), saying the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR) shortchanged another bidder by unlawfully awarding the contract at terms significantly below fair market value.
RMEF criticized the division's handling of the sale, saying that "awarding the contract below its value is a disservice to residents and other bidders."
"It appears that such rights were granted (to SFW) in an inappropriate attempt to circumvent the law and avoid the prospect of having to address a higher term offering from another willing bidder," the judge wrote.
OK, that was not a real news report. But this one is! See any similarities?

Hawkeye, how does this case law stack up to the Expo RFP debacle?
Seems quite applicable and timely.
