Would You Spend $74 Million To Save 2 Seconds?
Thursday, November 3, 2016
Of course not – it’s your money. But it didn’t bother Seattle’s government for a second – it was taxpayers’ bucks.
The “Mercer corridor” on I-5 has always been a mess. But after spending $74 million to relieve traffic congestion it’s now a very expensive mess. For all that money, they saved commuters 2 seconds.
Now they’re going to blow another $1 million for better traffic light timing that even they admit won’t do much to help.
For this magnificent waste of taxpayer dollars they earn our prestigious Golden Fleece Award.
