Springfield aldermen will take another crack at giving some preference to Sangamon County businesses when they are bidding on city government contracts.
An ordinance proposed by Alderman Sam Cahnman would give businesses located within the county… but outside the Springfield city limits… a preference if their bid is within three-percent of the low bid.
City businesses already get a five-percent preference on city contracts. An attempt to apply that same five-percent advantage to county businesses failed earlier this year.
