Crony Bidding And Gross Incompetence Reign..
At a time when Coloradans are desperately pleading for improved and new roadways the agency in charge of the same, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), is mired in the greatest crisis of its long-storied existence .
...
In December 2018, Governor Jared Polis appointed 35-year-old Shoshana Lew as his new Executive Director, a history major .. She replaced Governor Hickenlooper's appointment of 56-year-old Michael Lewis, an engineer with extensive public construction management experience.
...
Lew's primary qualification .. was her close relationship to Michelle Obama who called the newly elected governor for a favor - find a job for Shoshana Lew..
Lew is considered by some as an example of how the .. well connected can use their positions to secure favored treatment in .. government.
While originally intending to .. become a history professor .. Almost magically, although in her 20s with no experience, she entered the Obama administration and soon became a senior advisor at the US Department of the Interior ... With no financial background whatsoever, she next was appointed Chief Financial Officer of the US Department of transportation
...
After a controversial one year reign as Chief Operating Officer for Rhode Island Department of Transportation, she was appointed Executive Director of CDOT in December 2018 by Governor Polis - a job, according to CDOT employees, she was wholly ill prepared for
...
She likes bike lanes, big buses, walking paths, light rail, and electric cars.

The answer is, of course, no. She is a history major with no background in engineering or construction management.

Its the same everywhere. Leftists vote Democrat. Democrats raise taxes and spend money even more foolishly than the proverbial drunken sailor. Democrats pass all sorts of unconstitutional laws. The aim of democrats is to turn the USA into North Korea WITH THEM IN CHARGE and the rest of us serfs providing a labor pool to finance their lifestyles an insane social experiments. When their programs begin to get traction like in CA NY NJ etc the dumbasses who voted for them feel the Bern and move to another state, but theyre too dumb and too arrogant to realize they caused the problem and start the same stupidity all over again.
Hahaha. Yet another corrupt, ignorant, unqualified affirmative-action hire leftist fails. People of colorado: Are you voters merely leftist nitwits who self loath and desire to be punished? If you do not stop being ignorant leftist tools, you are doomed to living in colo-zuela. LOL.
Colorado? Get High!

Thanks george76.
What does a Florida problem have to do with Colorado?
Incompetence past and possibly in the future, due to political considerations.
I suppose that makes sense.
Colorado has multiple highway projects that have or are failing. The State also loves to spend a billion dollars to put in tolls roads to tax the drivers even more.
The Denver airport project is now hundreds of millions in the red. C-470, Same. I-25 south, same. Nothing these democrats do works.
