Contract worth $7.25 million? Google will probably do it for free, or
as a minimum at a greatly reduced price. Cities
like Los Angeles should take advantage of the
competitive situation to drive the cost of email
for the city to near zero.

Remember, with Google, they also get GoogleApps.
One huge plus.
