Hi NRA, re your:
"Am I the first to ask how much of that money went into the pockets of corrupt politicians...?" Good question about public officials in general; What effective methods do you suppose we have for detecting when someone involved with a public works project has opened off-shore bank accounts and/or arranged for 'bag-men' to receive bribe money/payoffs on their behalf?
Do y'all suppose we have any real verification/accountability at all re this stuff?

short answer None.
You do know that millions of pounds of steel from the world trade center was stolen and sold for scrap, with the whole new york police department and homeland security watching.

Alaska is a BIG State. Come up for years and never visit the same place twice.
Since we live here, we can afford to visit the place we really like all the time - Seward, Homer, Tok and so on.
With an RV rig, we do limit oursleves a fair amout - but since I retired from the USAF, I really limit how much time I spend in small aircraft - the wife will not even climb into one.

Another reason not to vote for Mitt Romney.Not defending Romney, but what does he have to do with this debacle? The wheels were in motion long before he took office, and he couldn't have stopped it or changed it if he wanted to.
Bump and belated Merry CHRISTmas from a FReeper who rode the Silver Line through the Ted in 2006.

How's that strip park that was supposed to be developed along the footprint of the Central Artery coming along? When I was in Boston in May 2006 it was still mounds of dirt.

The Big Dig will NEVER be complete. There will be repairs galore..." To fix the leaks, why don't they use the old wooden boat-builder's fix? Sprinkle sawdust above the leaks. The sawdust expands and seals the leaks. Easy-peazy. :^)

Another reason not to vote for Mitt Romney. This wasn't Romney's fault.The train had left the station *long* before he assumed office and the efforts he made to reign it in were soundly rebuffed by Kennedy,Kerry and the 90% RAT Massachusetts state legislature.

Absolutely right about Romney. He sometimes deserves the criticism he gets but not in this case. Also the parks the author talked about are nowhere near done (and won’t be for a long time)

The first question that the life insurance company asks is “Do you use or ever think you will use this tunnel”, if the answer is yes your life inurance rates, if you can even get life insurance, will increase by twenty-five fold.

The Tip O'Neill tunnel - figures. During his budget battles with Ronald Reagan, he was correctly compared to the runaway Federal budget at the time - fat and out of control.
I see his legacy extends to the tunnel as well.

At $14,800,000,000 my guess is that the greater Boston area now has quite a few more millionaires.
