Cubdriver Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 From the article: "Citi adopted this policy because we believe it is a positive and balanced step to promote gun safety without undermining free markets or Second Amendment rights," spokesman Scott Helfman said in an emailed statement. "It is disappointing that the taxpayers of Louisiana will be deprived from competitive bidding for necessary public works because the process has been politicized." Says the spokesman from the bank that politicized things in the first place. It's ok when THEY politicize things, but wrong when it's done back to them. Color me surprised. And bravo, Louisiana!! Well played! -Pat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
