LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The Michigan Democratic Party on Monday accused Republican Gov. Rick Snyder’s administration of twice extending a state contract without competitive bidding last year and increasing its worth earlier this year just a day after the company’s executives held a fundraiser for his campaign.

Snyder spokeswoman Sara Wurfel called the allegations — levied nearly two weeks before he faces Democrat Mark Schauer in the Nov. 4 election— “ridiculous, offensive and baseless.”
