If you are going to spend the tax payer's money that isn't there at least give the work to a local firm who will hire local workers and put dollars into the local economy. AD Morgan is a Tampa company who set up a storefront office in Bradenton to make themselves appear like a Sarasota/Manatee contractor. What a sham and what a shame to the hard working (or not) construction industry tax payers of Sarasota.
