Garland is going to tell you that Public Procurement is the same as Private Procurement. That government has the right to buy anything they want.
Trying to circumvent that nasty "taxpayer" thing again. The only problem with that is Private owners may spend their money as they wish. It's their money.
Public Procurement is spending taxpayer dollars, not their own. You and I own buildings, not the government. By Garland's reasoning, all public officials could drive Mercedes 600's, and get away with it. Absurd reasoning, and that's their problem.
NO Politician would ever come out in favor of "No Compete" scenarios, favoring only one supplier. By the way, when Garland talks about "Consulting", that is positiively illegal. It is against all procurement law that prohibit a consultant/manufacturer specifying only their material to a public entity.
Looks like Garland is stressed over the Tremco heat. Funny how they can
call another roofing manufacturer a "Bad Apple". Please notice that each of
them say the government, or their "Partners" have the right to buy anything that
makes them happy. and equate Public Procurement with Private Enterprise.
Each of them say "I don't know what this could possibly be about", yet a
couple of them refer to investigations by the government. GAF, Firestone,
and Carlisle don't have to make "We're Not Guilty" videos.
