Storm drains to nowhere

The State has gotten a guarantee of $17.5million (AP) to be reimbursed for the "storm drains to nowhere" on I-84. That's great. But it still doesn't address the fundamental problems that exist within the DOT... this reimbursement is akin to giving someone a bandaid for a cut when the person has a terminal disease. We still need serious reforms within the DOT.

Don;t worry, Jodi will hire more DOT inspectors...like the one we already hired driving his state truck to a McDonalds trying to have sex on state time with a child

This project has been totally mismanaged from the beginning.

Carpenter and Rell told everybody that the inspection was contracted out, which it was. However, there was still a ConnDOT employee who made regular trips to the jobsite. There were state cops there evryday too while this criminal activity went on. Like usual the feds will have to prosecute or not.
