#1 New Bedford Mayor Scott Lang said he's against allowing illegal immigrants to work in his aging mill city, one plagued by chronic unemployment.
"What bothers me is the selectivity and unilateralness of taking people who went to work yesterday and moving them out of the area without any real understanding of how it affects their families," he said.

#6 Insolia oversaw sweatshop conditions so he could meet the demands of $91 million in U.S. military contracts

Done contracting. The inch of boiler plate includes provisions that if you break the law executing the contract it makes the contract null and void. If you low balled, that means you, with intent, stole the contract from someone who was willing to comply with the law.
