Keeping politicians' hands off the Net & everything else related to technology
Last week, Congress passed a bill spending $250 million on reconstruction of the I-35 bridge in Minnesota. Over at WashingtonWatch.com, we did some calculating and found that this quarter-billion in spending amounts to about $130,000 per foot.
It’s about a third of the height, but triple the cost-per-foot, of the infamous Bridge to Nowhere.
