Neither of you have the full story. The City of Sacramento is NOT going to save money on the parts. I was at the City Council meeting and as Norm from Norm's Electric as well as the owner of Lehr's Auto Electric showed actual invoices by NAPA to the City priced up to 39% more then the HIGHEST priced local vendor. The money savings to the City is in MANPOWER. Mainly accounting. I wonder if the Council Members will give the City's accounting personnel any job references or assistance to State Aid when they are laid off. Good Stewards of our tax dollars??? Most of NAPA's parts are built in China or Mexico. Their Headquarters are in the Mid West. Our tax dollars, gentlemen are going completely out of the Nation much less the city!!!!!
Conversation about: City Council divided on $21 million contract, small businesses opposed
