It's not just the Dems. Republicans have proven to have no problem wasting fabulous amounts of tax dollars either... The nature of gov't is to be a black hole for money...

Likely some politically connected got the huge contract. Likely cost 100K in buuilding materials and labor but HUGE profit at the taxpayers expense. #EndCorporateWelfare

I bet a million dollars that if someone did an honest audit of these projects, they would find that fraud, waste, and abuse are the main reasons for the high costs. Government is good but it’s only as good as the people that work in it.

Hearing stuff like this turns my stomach! Wasteful! that city guy was full of nothing more than excuses. And this is considered a very small project. Terrible waste of our taxpayers money. Bid those projects out, I’ll guarantee you someone could build that for less than 500k
