No surprise. Kickbacks are probably the norm in that industry. "Men in muddy boots walking into the bank with bags full of cash."What about the cost of the Skydome. How much above budget was it??? Millions. Another construction story, a late friend of mine quoted on a job with the owner of a very large and well known GTA company. Friend quoted $200,000. for a job, owner said NO. Make it $400,000. and you get $100,000 and I get $100,000 off the top.
Tow truck industry also has a criminal element.
Not sure about Toronto but garbage collection in NYC is mob controlled.
