"The history of incompetence and corruption is bearing much fruit in all this mess".
THAT is the news. The infighting on this thread overshadows this fact.
My rabid liberal sister now gets it. The fact is these corrupt officials took kickbacks for decades and looked the other way while crooked contractors did shoddy work on major infrastructure. I just pray that the voters here who continued to elect the crooks see it too and change their ways. It did not have to be this bad.
