I learned from every single one of those experiences. But here's the one that I learned from the most. A developer was building the biggest Convention center hotel in the city, probably in the state. Huge project, thousands of jobs, and they were required by law to pay Davis Bacon wages. But the developer came forward to the mayor and the city council and I shit you not, he said, look, we're breaking the law. (04:39–04:47)
