We spoke last time, and I am still not satisfied with the responses, about why a property owner would go through an intermediary. If I recall correctly, I was told that it was more or less on a par whether there is a differential in what the Department is paying on property through an intermediary versus through direct negotiations. I know there are different arrangements for each one. Is the Department satisfied that on average it basically is the same?
