I'm curious if Mr. Leamon cares so much about the city and it's employees why he chooses to live in Lathrup Village.
His position makes sense to me--subcontractors will be less accountable to the public, will cut corners, and the workers who have done these jobs for a long time will be kicked to the curb. Make an argument for why he's wrong.

Others have already pointed out that there's no reason to think that private contractors care about "the city" more than their own profits.

Also, I don't really care where the dude lives. And btw, if you're a Bing supporter, it's not smart to play that game.
