flag Nebraska’s governor’s office is facing scrutiny over a $2.5 million emergency no-bid contract awarded to a bioeconomy firm linked to a lobbyist with ties to Governor Jim Pillen. flag The state auditor, Mike Foley, alleges the contract was improperly approved without valid emergency justification, documents were backdated, and the administration provided conflicting explanations about the firm’s role. flag While the governor’s office claims the firm helped secure federal funding and delivered a strong return, evidence shows key grant applications were submitted before the contract began. flag Foley has referred the matter to law enforcement, citing potential misconduct, as concerns grow over transparency and favoritism in state contracting.
