WRA on DOT staff
Hats off to the WRA for this editorial on the I-84 fiasco, particularly the closing:
It's plain from the audit that the DOT doesn't need to be reorganized; it needs to rid itself of employees who are unwilling to or incapable of functioning under the old organizational structure.I'm not sure if I agree totally though:
It is puzzling and troubling that Gov. Rell and other state officials persist in treating the DOT as if its employees were above reproach, focusing virtually all of the public's attention on stationary targets such as the L.G. DeFelice construction company and the Maguire Group inspection firm.Taxpayers should know about the problems caused by DeFelice and Maguire, particularly of work that was given "to inspectors of dubious qualifications." With people such as William Fritz, son of Cheshire's state Rep. Mary Fritz, being used as Chief Inspector... despite his lack of qualifications... and with Maguire executives knowing of his lack of qualifications... all parties involved, including the DOT, need to be held to account.

why is everybody so afraid of mary Fritz?
Tim should be after posting low blow comments on the blog that has no real ties to Mary, Tim get a life this blog is getting worse than tabloid TV
It has lost its way and so have you
jeez, anon 9;17pm I've seen politicians in Fritz's own party attack everyone in Waterbury as if they paid off Rowland. It's hard to complain about Tim finding a direct family connection here
9:17 Is that a threat?
Although much of the blog focus is on the Fritz's, has anyone looked into the history of the two contractors? Seems like at least one has a long track record of shoddy work, poor service or worse criminal activities.
Who did the background search that allowed these firms to work on such an important public project?
