Is there a chance they get a rate from the different media outlets and then mark that up before passing that cost onto the government thereby the rate is more than 4%?

Let's continually monitor everyone who does business with the government (how many companies is that - I don't know, but let's guess THOUSANDS) to ensure they are paying their suppliers and their employees. Shoot, it makes absolute sense (to some of you, it would appear) to spend a ton (or tonne) of money monitoring everyone just to catch a few potential miscreants. This is why audits exist, and this is why we have bankruptcy laws.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-41138138997102284082008-09-24T09:39:00.000-06:002008-09-24T09:39:00.000-06:00You conveniently left out the part of the article ...You conveniently left out the part of the article that notes that Highwood lost the gov't contract - as part of an open bid process initiated once Stelmach took office as Premier.<BR/><BR/>But I'm sure it was just an oversight on your part. You wouldn't take a news article and spin it just to make the current administration look bad, would you? For purely partisan purposes, or as a bit of sour grapes over the horrendous loss by your guy Taft in the last election?<BR/><BR/>Nah, you wouldn't do that.<BR/><BR/>In your personal description, you imply you have an open mind. I guess that translates into that you are open to using anything to try to make Stelmach look bad.
