City of Shreveport and Contractor Begin Trial on Tuesday

The Shreveport Times reports that the trial of claims filed by Whitaker Construction against the City of Shreveport will begin on Tuesday in U.S. District Court Judge Don Walter's courtroom. The company is seeking compensation for costs associated with its renovations of the Indenpendence Bowl in 2001. The project, which bankrupted the company, also resulted in the arrest of the company president on charges of failing to pay subcontractors, as noted here.
