This is how it works in Illinois.
Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the Governor's Mansion in Springfield . One from Springfield , another from Plainfield , and the third, a union contractor from Chicago . They go with an official from the Governor's staff to examine the fence.
The Springfield contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well", he says, "I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew, and $100 profit for me."
The Plainfield contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then Says, "I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me."
The Chicago union contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the Governor and whispers, "$2,700."
The Governor says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?"
The Chicago union contractor whispers back, "$1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire the dummy from Plainfield to fix the fence."
"Done!" replies Blagojevich
And that, is how business is done in Illinois! LOL!
