ADD QUOTES
- (Talking about the Liberal Leadership kit auction) Rick: When we did this, we were doing this to determine what the market value of the Liberal leadership is and raise beer money. But, when it got out of control and it was at $15,000 or $20,000 I said we would have to give it to charity because that would have too drastic an impact on productivity levels if we spent all that on beer.
