Not hiring locally.... We're opposed to regional preferences for businesses; in other words, a situation where it is indicated that if price is the only criterion, you still have to be 10% to 15% lower than the local guy. That could contribute to a situation in which you scare away non-local bidders completely, or you have a situation in which you're subsidizing local business, and all you're doing is subsidizing local businesses in a way that they can't compete, because they're going to find it awfully difficult when they get out in the real world.
