Water stays, but money disappears

The investigation into the I-84 storm drains to nowhere is picking up steam (WRA, by Michael Puffer). "state officials say they've found massively defective work requiring between $19 million and $26.7 million to repair." But state officials insist that we, the taxpayers, won't bear the cost of this screwup. (The hope is to get the bonding company, LG Defelice, and the engineering firm, the Maguire Group, to pony up.)

What I'm missing is this... have any DOT officials been sacked over this mess? And what process improvements have been installed to ensure such a mess never happens again?

wasn't the guy driving the DOT car to meet up with the "14 year old boy" he met on the Internet a DOT permit inspector?

Explains a lot, doesn;t it?
