Whenever left wing politicians like the Brown brothers get their hands into any project, they get money under the table and put their chronies into power to divide up more money.
“In addition to the Caltrans officials, there should have been a few Bay Area politicians on that panel, too. After the 1994 Northridge quake, GOP Gov. Pete Wilson and Los Angeles politicians brokered a deal that got needed bridge repairs done in 66 days.
Not so for the Bay Bridge. There was no sense of urgency among then-San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown or his colleagues in Oakland, Berkeley and Emeryville. They were so busy advocating bike paths, public-transit studies and a tony design that they allowed nine years to pass before a design was approved. The engineers were stuck with the thankless job of making it work — and pronto, because they understood they had to beat the next big one...”
This is just another example of the two critical ways we need to look at anything liberals are involved in:
1. Cui Bono or who benefits when bs surrounds and coversup shroud their overt or covert actions with anything with libs in control of..
2. Follow the money after #1.
One word: BART.
Also notice how so many of Obamas actions are calculated to defund normal productive private sector Americans (via taxes) and to take this money to fund all kinds of new EPA/IRS etc workers. And to Federally fund countless commie/left wing NGOs/ such as La Raza and ObamaKare navigators
You would be shocked to find out how many leftist NGOs/charities are 100% Federale funded or above 90% Federale funded.
Pay attention to the fund and defund actions the Obama regime takes. The are all slanted left...funding millions of leftist parasites in NGOs and “charities”
BECAUSE-— “Its all about gettin’ paid!” Preferably by the taxpayers
