Why... in MA... do they seem to have 495 on a perpetual repave job since as far back as I can remember... 1980?
Don't.
Kill.
The.
Job.
I don't phone in to the Howie Carr show very often at all -
I go entire seasons between calls.
But one time I regaled him with The Bride's tale
of watching road work on the Northboro stretch of I-290:
They cut down all the trees lining the road.
And then planted brand new saplings.
They ripped out all the undamaged guard rails.
And then installed new guard rails.
And a couple of years later they cut down
all the brand new saplings,
and replaced them with even newer saplings.
And ripped out all of the couple-year-old guard rails.
And installed even newer guard rails.
But consider this:
When the chickens come home to roost,
and Mass. has a
true state budget crisis,
what's gonna get cut are things like road repairs -
not the entitlement payments for the Shiftless-American community.
Crimaliens with several fraudulent EBT cards apiece
are gonna have a bumpy ride when they tool around.
