I would like the good people of Missouri to see where their tax dollars are going. Here is yet another "No Compete" setup designed only to funnel tax dollars AWAY from their intended purpose: "SCHOOLS".
How do cities like Detroit go bankrupt?
How come our schools have no money?
When you have a manufacturer, acting as a consultant, specifying only their materials, on a public project, it is ILLEGAL!
The lawyers have gotten loose after Tremco's 65 Million dollar federal fine, and are chasing down all Tremco's Public, and Private clients. The attorneys are also questioning the roofing contractors involved (per attorney's listed in recent posts) .
This is what the carnage looks like:

If you are not adept at reading public roofing specifications, it may be hard to sift through. But what you need to know is that Missouri lawmakers are allowing this to happen. By "this", I mean "no compete" bids through purchasing cooperatives.
If anyone can find anything that resembles fairness, or taxpayer value, please do correct me.
We will all be better served writing to the people listed in the link I've provided.
I do not like this fight. I do not like spending every waking hour on it. It takes me away from my responsibilities to the 2,800 members of RCA, and I don't like that either.
My demeanor is to be upbeat, and fun. Unfortunately those characteristics don't go far when dealing addressing Tremco, Garland, or Public Administrators. Here, only the facts count, and you are the judge.
When it comes to public structures, and taxpayer money, I care only about "Fact", and "Fairness".
You will get neither from those who wish to enrich themselves, at the expense of our schools.
Today, I am happy, smiling, and productive. It is sometime difficult to stay there, but I encourage you to reject negativity in all forms, and always remember to keep looking "UP"
