I live here and my father-in-law was an Oakland contractor for 30+ years.

All of the California and Federal regulations/rules/fees for making steel and concrete (CARB/EPA) prohibited local factories from being considered for this work. The empty warehouses, foundries and plants lay vacant in many parts of Oakland because we are saving ourselves from Global Warming.

The Liberals at least got some of the work to their union buddies at 2x the going rate for workers and OT, but the architect, engineer and ultimately the actual bridge construction was foreign.

I would bet the Chinese payoff to the Democratic politician or bureaucrats for the work was in the millions to an offshore account. Kamala Harris (our Marxist AG) would never ever look into that, because she is part of the Liberal Pelosi/Brown/Feinstein/Bloom/Newsome/Union that rivals Chicago in corruption.

Google “Treasure Island” and see how many Democrats will make millions on no-bid development deals with guys like Ron Burkle and Paul Pelosi.
