The former state official who brokered lucrative, no-bid deals with Austin tech company 21CT broke purchasing rules, ignored other possible vendors and worked to promote the company to agencies in Texas and other states, a state audit confirmed Thursday.
The State Auditor’s Office report said Jack Stick, while leading the state’s Medicaid fraud division, misled the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as he and other officials asked for money for a $20 million deal with the company in 2012 and a pending $90 million extension, which was canceled in December.
