Possible Collusion in Kentucky Road Contracting

A federal grand jury is investigating whether two Kentucky highway paving contractors colluded to restrict trade.

Metcalfe County Judge-Executive Greg Wilson reported on his testimony to the grand jury in June 2009, noting that he recounted a meeting with Glass Paving and Stone in the spring of 2008 in which Wilson was told by Larry Glass, president of Glass Paving and Stone, that Glass had worked out an arrangement so that Glass would not bid on any more Metcalfe County projects. Instead, "they were going to let Scotty's take care of it." Scotty's refers to Scotty's Contracting and Stone, the other contractor under investigation.
