I DO think that they deserved a warning, though. Eleven thousand dollars is a lot to come up with on short notice, and the Demokratik republik of Gnu Jerksey is sort of notorious for this crap.
New York and Michigan did the same thing. A congress critter from Wisconsin I believe pointed out the Jenkins Act and states are jumping on the band wagon. What ticks me off about this is the states farm out work to the cheapest wage which reduces revenue and then they spend taxpayer money penalizing these same citizens who try to get the cheapest rate.
