Only in California: 9 Years Late, Billions Overbudget - So Let's Have a Huge Taxpayer Funded Party
San Fransisco Bay Bridge is finally getting ready to open. It’s only
nine years late and a mere $5 billion (six times the original cost
projection) over budget, so it’s time to celebrate. The $12 million
celebration falls into the category of “go big or go home” and we wished
they chose the “go home” option, which would save the taxpayers about
$5 million dollars.
Unfortunately, this late opening, over
budget, grandiosity is par for the course for a government project – a
project that had NO independent fiscal oversight. Even the party, with
it’s $5.6 million price tag, equivalent to 1,000,000 tolls, is just
government as usual.
