I live in a bumper community in the Houston area.. My town, Sugar Land, Fort Bend County, sits on the boarder of Houston,Harris County.. The dividing line is a highway that serves as the community boundary line..
The road work that happens on each line tells the entire story of Liberal vs Conservative policies.. Houston and Harris is totally Democrat and union controlled, and Sugar Land, Fort Bend, is completely Republican, and nonunion..
Whenever there is road improvement on the Houston side, it takes years, the polar opposite of our side, they work around the clock, because the contract is monitored by a COMPLETION AGREEMENT, meaning the work isn’t funded until the work and progress meets a construction standard which is pre-agreed upon..
Not only are we using the finished project earlier, but the costs are completely different, I need not tell you which costs are a joke, and which are fair..
I remember something about the aftermath of the San Fran earthquake... one highway was rebuilt differently. The contractor was to be paid more the sooner it was rebuilt.
It was done in record time.
