Plus the restaurant was great and the service was always great as well. There is not much in Wilburton and this place brought in a lot of jobs that was needed. I personally never dealt with the state as a contractor or anything like that, but known a few people that have and know several people that work or had work for/with the state. I don't think that what Swadley's was doing was all above the board. I also think that the state should have been paying better attention and not paying invoice that didn't have the right documentation attached. Like if you buy something with those funds you need to be able to produce 3 bids or invoice for those items. Swadley's didn't seem to do this, but the state should have never paid if this was not submitted. I also think that this money was from the Covid relief money that was sent out to the states to help with whatever. So this is not just the Oklahoman taxpayers dollar, this was federal. I don't know that for sure, but to me IMO it makes the most since they entered into the contract March of 2020. The state didn't have that money to feed into this project without that federal money.</blockquote>
