Sebelius Response on Decision to Reopen Tanker Contract

Sebelius comments on decision to reopen tanker contract
Ruling gives Boeing a fair shot at business

Governor Kathleen Sebelius today issued the following statement regarding the announcement to officially reopen the bidding process on the tanker contract:

“I am pleased with the decision to reopen the bidding on the tanker refueling project. The GAO report identified serious flaws with the original process which disadvantaged an experienced American company. This gives Boeing the fair chance to compete for the business of building tankers, which will greatly benefit our state, other states with a Boeing presence, and our country as a whole. This is the right decision.”
