Calatrava has an internationally proven reputation proven for the success of completed projects. Hire him and you accept that or get an abortion. Further, if you were the engineer and were told which materials to use, would you accept liability for the project?

I accept the fact that you don't like the bridge (which says more about you than it does about the bridge). It's already paying over a third of its construction cost with new investment in the first year. A bigger park would never have done that. Find me another public works project with that kind of return.

You miss the point. The Elites in Redding gave him a blank check and used our tax money to pay for their boondoggle.

I am an Engineer and know that it is totally unreasonable to give blank checks to the builder. This probably violated several CA laws but G. Davis was in office so the liberal democrats could do whatever they wanted to with our tax money.

How would you like to get an estimate of $1000 for a new driveway and when it was finished get billed for $10,000?

No proof the bridge did that. Besides, with the 20,000 million you could have built three hotels.

I am still waiting for you to comment on your previous statement.

All the costs should be paid out of tolls. In NO case should the State be involved at all except to arrange the financing for the amount necessary to build a minimialist bridge on the grounds of earthquake repair. Anything beyond that benefits the _________ Area alone and should be funded locally.

Select one.

A) Bay
B) Redding

I am an engineer and engineers write contracts that fix the materials BEFORE construction starts. Only liberal elites write blank-check contracts like Turtle Bay did. Of course, since they are using taxpayers money, they care less how much it costs. They want the best that tax money can buy.
