Perdue probes buys from firm tied to Rand
RALEIGH, N.C. — Gov. Beverly Perdue has asked the state Department of Transportation Department to look into its purchases of costly surveillance equipment from a security company headed by a powerful politician.
Multiple media outlets reported Wednesday that Perdue said the purchases by the Division of Motor Vehicles and other state agencies were being reviewed. She said the results would be made public.
At least four state agencies have bought nearly $200,000 in equipment from Law Enforcement Associates since 2003, when state Sen. Tony Rand became the company's board chairman. The Fayetteville Democrat is stepping down as Senate majority leader to become Perdue's parole chief.
DMV bought more than $64,000 in gear from LEA without seeking competitive bids.
