They think that’s so corrupt and always bring up tax payers money but they never dig into what elected officials are throwing tax payers money at.

It's like Receiving Stolen Goods. If you buy something really cheap, they see you knew it was stolen. $200 for that paving job is like buying $500 iphone for $50 bucks or less. He knew everything.

I highly doubt he just gave his neighbor money to have it done, not saying the other guy doesn't have anything to do with it, because he probably does to. It's your house your money, don't act dumb like you don't know.
So the homeowner gave his handyman $200 cash to pay to city workers to pave his drive way. When the workers agree to it. He records and take pictures of them and then sends the video and pictures to the news and complains about it....... Talk about throwing everyone under the bus

Typical criminals. Once confronted with their crimes (yes, using city property and materials for private work is a crime called theft) they get angry and deny.
Big deal. Where I work supervisors take money from workers, 500 pounds, before getting a contract, 500 pounds after you get a contract. 10 people, 10,000 pounds for doing nothing. Corruption is everywhere.
It'd be one thing if the guy just asked them if they could come grade his driveway real quick if they have time. But using asphalt and all that is another thing.
The first problem is thinking you could get your drive way paved for $200! Who could possibly think that's realistic ? in this case he got what he paid for! There is other investigated reporting where people have paved several thousand dollars that had a worse quality done driveway then what he did received that's a rip off because they actually paid real money for a paved driveway!
I was a paving contractor, it was hard enough making a living. There are only a handful of legitimate contractors that had licenses, equipment and did the right job.

Happens every day. I was a contractor and doing some demo on a house. City dump truck driver came by and offered to haul everything away for $100 with no dump fees.
Many years ago, My Father was in the process of building a Double Garage. We owned a corner block and the Garage abutted onto the side street. One day Father was approached by a Council Worker advising him that they had some Concrete left over from their job around the corner and were willing to dump it , for free, into the form work of the Floor of Our Double Garage, which My Father had yet to pour. My Father accepted and within Minutes he had a 6 Man Work Crew pouring, screeing and levelling enough Concrete to Cover the entire Floor and the short Apron from the Garage Door to the Council Footpath which ran alongside of the side Street. As it turned out that became the best Garage Floor My Father ever had (& the cheapest).
Old dude got a deal of the century & blown away all street credit for snitching. Besides, I’m sure the city’s officials waste way more then that everyday.
What about all the council men , school board , mayors who do all this crooked crap . And nothing happens to them .. these people they are entrepreneurs.. At least they ain’t robbing anyone
The customer knew what he was getting into. Snitching after the fact doesn't make him any more honest.
Yeah that guy is a straight up 403 for that

This is magical! A driveway gets paved with asphalt for almost nothing and no one knows who did it.
$200 that's like $5000 off deal, and as he say tax payers money, he is a taxpayer and a snitch. He helped the brotha out and he did him like that.
Did him dirty!
$200 is actually really cheap.
