WASHINGTON, D.C. – Maryland’s Democratic governor tapped one of the world’s largest risk-management firms for a short-term contract in preparation for Republican President-elect Trump moving in next door.
Gov. Wes Moore hired Accenture PLC, an Irish IT and consulting firm with an estimated $60 billion in revenue, to be its eyes and ears on Trump’s return to Washington, D.C.
Two days after Trump was projected to win, Maryland finalized its $190,000 contract.
Consultants at Accenture have been charged with analyzing how Trump and congressional Republicans will affect Maryland, including in terms of federal monies sent across the Anacostia River as the new administration signals a major belt-tightening.
The contract includes a section focused on identifying state “resources and efforts and consider potential avenues for legal challenges.”
What a waste of money. It infuriates me to have our money squandered like this
He could have at least greased a MD firm with our tax dollars!
$190K for a ” SPY ” network ????
I thought that is what the demo-nuts in the house and senate do ???
governor moore, Stop wasting our hard earned tax money. If we have stupid money to blow, give it back to us.
Everyone should email our so called Gov. I just did. Tell him not to waste our tax money this way. We are tired of it.
