desperately seeking sense

Visited the Stafford bathroom today and again found NO water fountains, no mop sink, no flooring, nor any wheelchair accessability; also no means of refrigeration or lighting. DID see the incredibly expensive sewer hookup, piles of rocks supporting the slab that had been washed away, and the VERY attractive barricades. How much are we being charged for the fill and the barricades? Are the barricades permanent? September will be TWO years and still no sign of when we will be able to actually USE them. Scary thought- these are the same guys who are supposed to build a 32,000 foot new gym for us. This is 1116 square feet, TWO years behind schedule, costs over $400 a square foot, SO FAR, and shows NO signs of being finished anytime soon. If you arent scared yet, maybe you should be. The buck stops at Borgemanns desk. How does he explain this, yet another disaster on HIS watch? under HIS supposed direct supervision? (I use the term supervision loosely, for obvious reasons, as there IS no apparent oversight of ANY significance). OVER two years for bathrooms? costs so far an easy triple of the usual and customary costs.. is THIS the best he has to offer? Incredible. Ridiculous. Incompetency personified. Ineptitude on the hoof. Absurd. There HAS to ba another answer for these repeated, costly, and continuous disasters- NOBODY can be THAT stupid all the time! Must be kickbacks, or bid rigging, or something, because no other explanation makes sense. If somebody has an rational explanation for these continuous construction catastrophies I would like to hear it.
