] From the Trib:

Developers, contractors and homeowners often hire private individuals known in City Hall parlance as expediters to apply for and obtain permits from the city...Some expediters argue that their reputations have been unfairly tarnished by the expediter-turned-government spy and another expediter who last year admitted bribing city workers to speed up the permit process.

The mole reported that, among other things, certain construction stop-orders would be lifted if certain expediters were hired. In other words, it's a lot like "we don't want nobody nobody sent- and we're sending them to you, whether you like it or not."
