The state is paying Virginia-based outsourcing firm Maximus $43 million to oversee centralized tracing. Although public health experts recommended more, 500 workers were hired in May.<\/p>\n<p>Just before the deal was inked, the company sent a donation to Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb\u2019s reelection campaign. That wasn&#8217;t its first foray into Indiana politics.<\/p>\n<p>Maximus did not respond to a request for comment\u2014either on its political contributions or the quality of contact tracing.<\/p>\n<p>But the issues Indiana is facing run deeper. Health officials worry contact tracing issues could be costing Hoosier lives.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And since we talked about the sports here yesterday, how about a video? I know all these guys.
