(AP) – Express Scripts gave $10,000 to help fund Missouri
Gov. Eric Greitens’ inauguration months before it received a no-bid contract
with the state.The Kansas City Star reported Thursday that the donation was listed on Express
Scripts’ website among other political contributions. Greitens had released a
list of “benefactors” to his January inauguration but did not disclose how much
donors gave.

Greitens’ administration recently gave the St. Louis-based company a $250,000
contract. The contract is to help administer a program to monitor prescription
drugs coming from doctors and pharmacists.

Greitens’ administration has argued a competitive bidding process for the
recent state contract was not required.

Greitens’ senior adviser, Austin Chambers, previously said claims of
impropriety about the Express Scripts contract were “ridiculous.”
