Penalty Proposed for Contractors Who Don’t Respond to Subpoenas

dcogcadmin | December 3, 2009

Contractors who duck subpoenas issued by the D.C. Council would be barred from receiving new deals with the city for five years under legislation introduced this week.

Ward 5 Councilman Harry Thomas Jr. proposed the bill after two construction managers, one closely tied to Mayor Adrian Fenty, advised through an attorney that they would not submit to a council subpoena on the date requested, citing scheduling conflicts.  The Washington Examiner
