fienstien's husband just gor a 600 million dollar contract from the government.
URS Corp., a San Francisco planning and engineering firm partially owned by California Sen. Dianne Feinstein's husband, landed an Army contract Monday worth up to $600 million.
The award to help with troop mobilization, weapons systems training and anti-terrorism efforts is the latest in a string of plum defense jobs snared by URS. In February, the firm won an army engineering and logistics contract that could bring in $3.1 billion during the next eight years.
Government contracting has come under increasing scrutiny by Congress and citizen groups, with critics decrying the political connections of firms winning lucrative jobs. Richard Blum, Feinstein's husband, serves on the company's board of directors and controls about 24 percent of the firm's stock,
according to Hoover's Inc. research firm.
A Feinstein spokesman Monday declined to comment on the contract.

weak leaders surround themselves with weak and subservient help that agree with everything they say.
strong leaders surround themselves with strong help that will disgree and force discussions about policy.
