OOPS! A misfire!
The quoted price seems exceedingly high.
Please send me a copy of the 3 bids for my examination. Upon review, if I still feel that the pricing is out
of line, I will photograph the map an get a few prices myself and present them to you.
Incidentally, the photo is certainly a Public Record ("see 119.011"). If you feel otherwise, I am not
looking for any special treatment for this verbal records request. I only ask that you act lawfully.
