sad situation

What is truly sad is the hundreds of thousands of our tax dollars disappearing without any apologies, accountability, or improvement in performance. It isnt sad for the contractors because they will do VERY WELL with the very expensive cost overruns and change orders. Only they will have any money to deposit anyway. Is there anybody who doesnt believe that MS, Fla, and the nation are in serious economic trouble? If so, I would like to know on what basis they could come to their rosy assessment- the same apparent unbelievable assessment the Council has.
