The city and federal government told many workers to stay home.

The government, of course, does not always tell the public everything it knows.

When has the government ever told any- one the truth?

The government told workers that they would only have to work for six months of every year.

"What's the next thing the Government will tell people that they can and cannot say?"

"Did the Government tell you he was making that kind of money?"

"And the Government did not tell us to stop doing it."

The answer to that one was pretty simple: the government had told them as much.

The government told everyone what to do, or so he assumed.

The residents say the government told them the sales were legal.
