In this post, you say that no public official will ever become aware of problems:

>> Noone is ever going to speak to public officials in your regime. You will
>> never find out about these things.

But in your example, the public official already knows about the problem:

>> Clean Water Act. - Company x had found a loophole that has allowed them
>> >legally< to dump more than they would have been allowed to otherwise.
>> I, as official #1, know this and want to discuss this with people from
>> company x.

Is this one of your much touted "rule changes" to accommodate your argument?

I don't think I have anything of real value to add to Brandioch's comments.
