Good. I hope that they will be able to pry loose the real reason the bridge collapsed instead of the whitewash that was released a few days ago.

Heck, yeah! None of this hurts the politicians. The state’s taxpayers are footing the bill for this, so why not press on ahead with new spending?

The ones responsible are not the ones who will pay for this. It stinks.

I don’t blame these people for suing. Too bad it won’t prevent another incident.

I wish I could talk to the suing lawyers and tell them to have the Dept of Trans audited to see where all the dedicated gas tax funds REALLY went.

I’m here to tell you, there’s so much shenanigans going on with where dedicated transportation money is going it’s crazy.
