We are finding that more and more states have not been using Infrustructure Money for its intended purpose. Hmmmm...
I hope they are tracking the latest Infrustructure Money that Biden signed in November to see that it is used for Roads, Bridges, and Utilities. Every Penny! That is build back better Money, and I fear it is quickly disappearing. $100 million of it has already been tracked to NFL Players Fraud.
A few years back one of California's dams was in bad shape. I think the spill way was washed out. They knew it had to be fixed. They had years and years to fix it. They had a major drought which gave them even more time to fix it, but somehow the money was always spent somewhere else. Then one day unexpectedly it began to rain and rain and rain. I mean with Global Fracking Warming and all, who could have predicted the drought would ever end.
The neglected dam almost failed. They had to do some fancy footwork to stop a disaster, which thank god they did. The point being that real infrastructure like the New Orleans flood dams gets neglected, even when the money is there to fix it.
I wonder how long the money to fix this sewer line was diverted or if it was ? Could have been.
