The amount made on just fees in the last month by the company nationally? Karl, This is a slippery slope. Every company that tries to do business should have prior deals held against them? What does it have to do with NYC?

Verizon spends $4 million per quarter on lobbying alone. Those penalties are a gift. In your opinion. But I guess we are at a time where we look to heavily penalize companies for trying to do business. A 121 million dollar penalty is a 121 million dollar penalty. If they lost that big deal, should the penalties go down?
