Most taxpayers would be horrified if they thought that's what you had to do to get a job on a Public Works project in this regime. I think it's a sick, sick commercial environment, and to say that I am disappointed is an understatement. It really does make me nauseous, coming from the construction industry. We thought fair competition would get the best value for the construction dollar invested, but you're saying you have to pony up if you want to play the game. If you want to be a player, you have to grease the right palms. Is that what you're saying?
