BUMP to that!!!
"Boston's $15 billion 'Big Dig' was meant to inspire awe, an engineering marvel on scale with the Panama Canal that would thrust U.S. cities into a new era."
A close look at the electoral map shows major metropolitan areas to largely be Rat controlled. Additionally this is seen when you look at the party that holds the office (even if it is a "non-partisan office", meaning 2 Democrats can run against each other). Now look at the Federal investigation that has been running for a couple years into corruption across major cities (Houston, New Orleans, Detroit, Cleveland among them) using the same players and even city staffers.
No doubt about it. This was another multibillion dollar attempt at socking away some money, power, and influence.
The Big Dig should be renamed, Kennedy's Hole. It's the hole in the ground federal taxpayers have poured $15 billion into, buying votes in MA for Chappaquiddick Kennedy (this is 37th anniversary of the murder).
And not just an attempt, a success for the perpetrators. Just think - didn't they get money, power, and influence from the Big Dig?
The losers in this are the taxpayers of the U.S., and commuters of Boston. All the criminals got away scott free.
How do citizens clear out such corruption without resorting to vigilantism? This is maddening.
