OUCH.
That's almost like the State of NJ with the question of whether or not to preserve or tear down a certain historic building.
The one estimate was 2 mill to not only preserve it, but make it usable as office space, which was needed for the Park Service.
Well, NJ spent 11.2 million to tear the building down.
They then turned around and asked for an office building to be built, of the exact same square footage of usable office space of the building they just tore down.

Hope I'm making sense.
I was up way early this morning and am dragging..

You are making complete sense. What a stupid freaking idea - I hate that sort of abuse.

Ya know, there are a lot of folks on the "left" that see many things in a similar manner to the "right". I don't want "big government" - I want "ethical government" that "spends wisely" and "conducts wise investment and planning for the future". I doubt that is hard to disagree with.

The problem, IMO, is that these turds that get elected and are then corrupted by campaign contributors proceed to make decisions that NONE of us would endorse if we had the ability to influence those decisions.

(laughing) Imagine if WE had a line-item veto which WE would vote on and take the crap out of the bills they pass... That would certainly straighten a few things out.
