" 'Pay-to-play politics'
Two Savannah-area state Democratic lawmakers urged Gov. Brian Kemp on Monday to open an independent investigation into allegations that a company owned by the brother of Republican U.S. Senate candidate Derek Dooley received special treatment in the awarding of millions of dollars in state contracts and has improperly influenced the race for the GOP nomination.
In a report broadcast last week, WXIA-TV in Atlanta alleged that Kemp helped pave the way for a supplier of K-12 school safety and emergency response systems to win state contracts worth more than $27 million dollars from 2019 through 2025.
The company, Centegix, is owned by Kemp's longtime friend, Daniel Dooley, whose brother Derek is a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate. Daniel Dooley, the report said, has donated $100,000 to Kemp's political action committee, Hardworking Americans, which is backing Derek Dooley's campaign.
Neither Kemp nor Dooley, who were scheduled to be on a campaign stop in Savannah on Monday, have responded to the allegations. But they came as Dooley's opponent in the primary runoff, Mike Collins, has come under intense scrutiny concerning the conduct of a chief of staff.
State Rep. Anne Allen Westbrook on Monday said the claims against Kemp and Dooley pointed to "one of the most blatant, corrupt pay-to-play politics scandals in recent Georgia history."
"Georgians deserve to know the truth, and they deserve to know it now," she said. "That's why I am demanding that the governor open an independent investigation into Centegix and no-bid contracts."
State Sen. Derek Mallow described the Centegix contracts as an example of "blatant corruption" between Kemp and longtime family and friends "at the expense of hardworking Georgians in an economy where everything costs too much."
