I used to think that these kind of decisions were made to please people with political clout. Now I think it's just incompetence. The only thing that makes me feel half way good is that Mass is worse. I saw them pave a bridge over 495. There was concrete falling off the bottom as they paved the top. A few months later they ripped up all the paving to fix the concrete.
Yes jrc we see that all to often and it equates to fraud.
Using money to do a project just so they won't loose the money, then using more or our money to tear it up and do it all over again the right way.
Enough ranting I've got to go drive on that new unnecessary pavement to get to the house I'm painting.
