"He...made a final offer, said it was his final offer and this was prior to the expiration of his contract," Seymour said. "His offer did not cover all the costs that are paid by taxpayers. He reiterated that it was his final offer several times including in emails, through his associates and directly to the state. We believed him," Seymour continued. "We are now proceeding accordingly as it is a final offer we cannot accept and have started a process to remove our equipment from the AAA offices. He has not communicated further with us since giving his final offer."
