Once a receipt for the payment is produced then the state would pay the contract.

But, it does stand up to the smell test; in fact should have been being done for years. <br /><br />If poor Ms Mann couldn't handle this issue, she should do what other small businesses have to do - go to the local bank, assign a copy of the contract, and borrow enough money to pay the media outlets. Once done, DPS would process her payment. The interest incurred for a less than 60 day loan isn't going to rupture her commission rate built into the contract.<br /><br />She doesn't want to do it in this manner in the future? Fine. I'll guarantee you that there are several media placement firms that have been trying to get into this DPS honeyhole for years but couldn't get past whatever hold she had on the bureaucracy. And I'll guarantee that some of them will be able to take the contract under the conditions included.<br /><br />She doesn't like this solution; negotiate another contract - but if the state is going to be expected to continue financing her business, she should be reducing her rate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-6961659681163633102017-06-16T18:05:21.184-05:002017-06-16T18:05:21.184-05:00Where did the money go?
