Recently, ODOT announced that the very same incompetent bridge contractor [1]--who has dragged the West Sixth St. bridge repair into costly overruns--has been awarded the Innerbelt contract.
Sickening, insane, UNREAL...but, what do we do? We take it. Over and over, again.
Doesn't anyone remember Russo's advice to folks submitting bids to Cuyahoga County?
"I tell all these guys -- go in low and just add a thing or two on as you go along," Russo said. [2]
"But they don't listen," Russo said. [2]
This must have been the very same advice successfully followed by the contractors awarded the Juvenile Detention Center. [3] The Opportunity Corridor? Hell--if we are going to continue taking it, the way we keep taking it, can we just call it for what it is--the Exploitation Corridor.
BTW, I wonder how Fred Finley is doing these days??? [4] Congress representative Kucinich, Fudge...what do you have to say for your part in all of this mess?
