That story has been played before. Try a new sob story. <br /><br />The thing with a government gig is that you don't have to generate clients to pay your overhead, bills, and salary. When you have a captive client base why should you be paid for the effort of generating and maintaining one as is done in the real business world.<br /><br />Our province is being run right into the wall and we are paying top dollar to the people who are doing it.
