“That is probably due to local bay area governments pimping the feds for reconstruction funds for friends companies. They of course have to have the contracts distributed according to diversity and affirmative action standards. They drag it out as long as possible with retro fits that take decades or the next big earthquake,which ever comes first. Notice how soon Caltrans got the freeways up after up after the Northridge earthquake something like 6 to 12 mos.”

It is probably a safe bet that Je$$e Hi Jack$on will be pimping for his Ho’s to get the big bucks for for doing nothing. Those of us in our 60’s and mid 50’s will probably never see this get finished.

Well, the contractor that got some huge bonuses for that hurry-up job down there in Northridge bought some developable land in far eastern Sacramanto County... Way out east on the Amador County line.

Well, as is now the un-American custom in CA called "ballot box planning," his development for age restricted senior housing right next to an established age restricted existing development was forced to a ballot proposition and of course defeated by all the NIMBY's, BANANA's, EnvironMentalists and leftists in Sacramento County.

The same county that has voted to stop all nuclear and hydro power development or any other clean or sustainable energy source because "if you build it, they will come!!!"

So, even though Pete Wilson actually jumped up and did at least one thing right during his eight years, the guy that applied good old Yankee Inginuity and "Got 'er Done," got screwed in the end of his American Dream!!!

What a pathetic state the DemocratICKS are turning CA into!!!

Didn't you tell me yesterday that when your "trophy wife" first heard about this crash that she remarked to you that gasoline would go up an immediate ten cents/gallon? Well looky what just came in on the MarketWatch.com wire!!!

"5:48 Economic Report: Gas prices jump 10 cents to $3.02"

And don't forget that this $3.02 is the WHOLESALE price, not the price at any pump, but you knew that, of course!
