Yes, this tactic is used all the time in U.S. politics. Our volunteer
fire company's get offered tax $$ but as soon as you take the money they
begin to require you to take certain state approved training and buy your
trucks and equipment from an in-state dealer they choose. They seem to
have learned this tactic from drug pushers. Be careful what deals you
make on antique MVs.
