So, Andrew, what have other states done to prevent something like this, this tacit collusion, and to prevent something like the single-bid contracts amounting to a whole bunch of over a billion dollars in a two-, three-year time period? What are some other states? Is there a state law that you've advocated for here or maybe a model from another state that would specifically address this?

So you don't see this problem in many states.

And that is because...

the culture of accepting this type of behavior was either rooted out generations ago, or it just doesn't reflect what is considered an acceptable way of doing business to build roads and infrastructure for the taxpayers.

Now, that doesn't mean that there haven't been other states that have dealt with things similar to this.

West Virginia had something That involved actually a number of the same players that do their business in the state of Kentucky.

Their state attorney general took them to court and went after the collusive behavior and the monopolization of markets between some of the largest players in that state.

Yeah, well,
