I try to cut people some slack, and say this was an incredibly difficult project from the moment it was conceived. But, since the damn thing has cost billions, the design and construction are substandard, it added about 1 hour to a cross city trip every day for 10 years, now it saves 10 minutes on that same trip from how it was before construction started, it's going to take 60 years just to recoup the time wasted in traffic delays during construction. Think about that for a minute. And it's run by a bunch of people who should have stuck to what they do best - collecting tolls on the MassPike. They only spend 50% of the revenue they raise to raise that revenue, so they are WICKED efficient. The other 50% is left to spend on things like snowplowing, patronage, ivory towers, expense accounts, sundries and misc waste. Somebody told me today that the current Turnpike Authority Chairman has gained about 20% body weight during his tenure. Presumably, he's so busy working, he doesn't have time to take exercise any more.
