This oppressive government has no problem throwing farmers off land their families homesteaded a hundred years ago, but if a EPA-protected spider or minnow showa up, huge water projects that benefit thousands of people are halted. This is crazy.

Who found the spider there? I'm sure the diggers are not enviro whackos.
Sounds like a nanny leftist poking around where they don't belong.
Want to protect jobs, keep the area locked down with armed security.

Very interesting spider, amazing the translucent features, truly an amazing animal. OK, well, now that’s done - get a can of Raid, kill it, and go back to building a water pipeline for HUMAN BEINGS.

As I said at the time and I’m still saying - this was all a set up. When you’re on a bull dozer, you’re not looking for a tiny little spider.

Please...if this is a union job, the workers are all for having the project streched out that much more, since they are getting paid for it.

Construction of a Texas water pipeline was halted due to the discovery of the same spider that halted a highway project That Luddite spider needs killing.

Sounds like a nanny leftist poking around where they don't belong.My money's on the whacko bringing the spider to the construction site in a jar, then "discovering" it.
