No doubt,
But someone is cashing in and I doubt it is the "consumer"
I wonder where all the money goes?
It is sickening to see a state entity so f*&#ing greedy that it maliciously exploits those who have to work under their control.
In the month of April, TREC assigned fines which were more than $19,000.
And I doubt that is the full story.
I use to think extortion was illegal.
