I know this is a little off topic but it sounds a lot like when this happened.
When old fast Eddie was in office he wanted to get the steps of the capitol repainted so he put out a bid. Well a contractor from Shreveport came in with a bid of $10,000, then another contractor from Alexander came in with a bid of $20,000 and then the contractor from Crowley came in with a bid of $30,000. Fast Eddie was reviewing the bids and he called that contractor from Crowley and wanted to know why he was higher. He told Eddie that he had figured it out real good and that what it would take to paint the steps.
There was $10,000 for him, $10,000 for Fast Eddie and then he would hire that contractor from Shreveport to do the job. So who you think got the job?
