The People in Taxachussets have been making the wrong choices for decades.
It ain't gonna be just Taxachusetts that's gonna pay for this folks; remember this is part of the Federal Highway system and was a Federally funded project from the git-go.
Whatever the cost, it will be borne by all of us yet again.
For those not familiar with the Len Bias story, here's the Cliff Note version: an extremely talented young basketball player, drafted by the Boston Celtics as the Larry Bird era was coming to an end. Len had the promise to keep the magic going and the town was stoked. Then young Len o'd on cocaine in a dorm room and died. The Celtic dynasty was over and they have never really recovered.
Bless Len's mom for working with young people and warning them of the dangers.
Then why, for cripes' sake, wasn't some kind of oversight instituted on this project from the second it was proposed???? It can come as no surprise to anyone with a room-temperature IQ that corners were cut, payrolls were padded, bills were sent for work never done. This is BOSTON!
You had to KNOW that this would be the most inefficient, graft-ridden project since that ski resort in Phoenix. Why wasn't an independent group of auditors employed to supervise before the first spade of earth was turned?
Answer? More corruption. And a willingness to tolerate "business as usual."
However, this time, the money Massachusetts wasted came from ALL the taxpayers, not just the pliable Massachusettans. This time, someone should fall.
And this time, I should get a knock on the door from the lottery folks ...
Living in the People's Republic of Kalifornia, I am well aware of the fact that, at some point, a person does have a responsibility to leave a liberal hell hole. Decisions have consequences. Liberals don't know that, but the rest of us should know what to expect.
