They were completely fair here and just made sure to make a deal that they could bring their voters to get acceptance.
Except now imagine that who ever sold the new house also gets to live in it and use it free of charge. Also imagine that its some one that you have to work with on a very regular basis and having a good relationship with them is pretty important and they had to buy that house cause they were in a pretty serious bind.

I dont know, I guess I refuse to look at it simply as a regular business transaction.

If we tolled all of the TTN nation access points I would be able to view it more as a straight property purchase.
