The state is ending contracts that paid outside consultants millions of dollars to oversee a massive computer project already chock-full of other consultants and dozens of state employees.
Billing by one contractor cost the state $4.8 million in just one year; annual salaries for other consultants ranged from a high of $500,000 to a low of $200,000.
