As someone once said, if you put the government in charge of the Sahara desert, in 5 years there will be a shortage of sand.
-
For an extra $100 you could put ramps in and make it a skatepark
-
so who's friend owned the concrete company?
-
All because the other building is not ADA compliant. I'm sorry but not everywhere should be forced to allow access for all. It's a historic building so be it, I would never think of going to a Castle in Europe and expect to roll a wheelchair around...LOL The original reason to build this was BS to begin with.

I've watched a few of Larry's exposes and it's really depressing. I live the other side of the planet and we have the exact same corruption and incompetence as you have there and the bastards responsible keep their jobs and retire with their generous pensions paid for by the taxpayers. It makes me sick. No care, no responsibility and no repercussions yet if I don't cut my lawn correctly I am slammed with a fine and there is no right of appeal. I wish you well people of NM and hope things improve.

There should be a new law for all contracted work where payment is put into escrow until the work is competed. This would protect the contractors from not getting paid and protect the buyer from the contractors running off with the money before the work is completed.

A government project does not go as planned? What else is new?
-
You can drive to any Home Depot in Texas and find some laborers and supplies to pour the same slab for 30 bucks, and never leave the store
-
They lied. They said their was no contract and it was done by maintenance worker. Then why are their plumbing and electrical pipes sticking up. Maintenance workers do plumbing and electric?
-
If you want it to take way too long and go over budget leave it to government to get it done
-
Well... They do say... If you want to be a professional crook, don't rob banks, take office in the public sector. Great report team.
-
they raised and collected property taxes for this, where did all the money go.
-
that's the problem, you get people who don't know a damn thing about contracting, business, budgeting, or meeting deadlines but yet they're in charge of all these projects and we're the ones who have to pay the burden
-
"Any job done under budget, and completed on time. Wasn't worth doing". The architect of the great pyramid
-
It's a brilliant visitor centre as it stands. For the museum of bloated government.
-
Follow the money, you will probably find most of it in some politician and/or politician's crony"s pockets.
-
The City takes the term "Concrete Plans" to a whole new level
-
a visitor center directly next to a cemetery, great idea
-
400k for plans and concrete? Really?
-
Our government is ridiculously wasteful and unorganized. I'm shocked that so many people still pay taxes.
