I'm starting to think we need to come up with a definition for "Zambito." To completely shock and not shock with the same revelations? #CEICby Adam Kovac via twitter 10/2/2012 2:20:11 PM -
#ceic Lino Zambito tells inquiry for 2004 sewer project in Old Mtl the bidding was "rigged". Other bidders were contacted, informed of planby Domenic Fazioli via twitter 10/2/2012 2:22:26 PM -

Big names now-Hyprescon which belonged to Tony Accurso, was only supplier of reinforced concrete pipes, and city insisted on Hyprescon #ceicby catherine solyom via twitter 10/2/2012 2:44:42 PM

We're still moving through various contracts. Pie IX, Plateau, Ville Marie... all rigged, says Zambito. Oof. #ceicby Monique Muise via twitter 10/2/2012 2:45:15 PM -

Some contracts in city weren't rigged (!) You can tell by how they come in under budget, and by the names of contractors, Zambito says #ceicby catherine solyom via twitter 10/2/2012 2:54:34 PM

You have to commend #ceic Lino Zambito for coming out but I wouldn't want to be him. Damn he's in big doodoo with the "higher ups"by Habs_Junkie via twitter 10/2/2012 3:53:29 PM -
Zambito can't explain why an outsider would want to bid anyway, but hey, it worked for them - showed (false)diversity in bidders. #ceicby catherine solyom via twitter 10/2/2012 3:55:47 PM

It's interesting that Zambito, himself up to his neck in corruption accusations, is being so candid in exposing dirt at City Hall. #ceicby robroc via twitter 10/2/2012 4:05:18 PM -
Zambito calls it "unwritten law of non-agression". Don't mess with the gang in Montreal, we won't mess with you in Laval or Rive Nord. #ceicby catherine solyom via twitter 10/2/2012 4:06:04 PM

Ouch! >@SGirouxCTV: Zambito says it's not a problem when outsiders bid on contracts. It gives a signal that maybe process isn't fixed. #ceicby xtineh via twitter 10/2/2012 4:13:37 PM -
