State still holding off payment on motor vehicle system
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) The state still has not paid the final $2 million it owes to 3M Co. for a new motor vehicle system that created long delays after it was introduced in May.
As of Friday, the last payment on the $25 million contract is six months overdue.
Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan has said the state won't make the last payment until all the problems with the system are fixed.
The revenue department said the program is no longer experiencing statewide problems that occurred during the summer. But spokeswoman Jeannine Koranda said some local issues have not been resolved.
The Associated Press reports the state sent a total of $560,000 to counties to help pay overtime costs incurred by employees when the system was introduced.
