The Big Dig
In Boston, a local columnist criticises the project all the way back to it's roots...
Jeff Jacoby writes for the Boston Globe:
"But it wasn't exactly a secret that the project was a bloated catastrophe, vastly over-budget and marred by leaks, delays, and falling debris. For years news stories, outside audits, and leaked internal memos had been documenting a shocking history of failures and errors. Just a few weeks earlier, six employees of Aggregate Industries, the Big Dig's largest vendor of concrete, had been arrested for allegedly falsifying records to disguise the poor quality of the concrete supplied."
