Yeah, a new bridge adjacent to an existing bridge, for an island with a population with a mean net worth that is in the upper percentile. I would have thought there are other road projects that would be higher on the priority list in this county and nation i.e. in poorer areas or areas that typically have below standard road conditions or that need upgrading.

Should we complain? Or is this class warfare? God, isn't this the argument for Democrats against Republicans? Wow, I think we just reversed roles, or are the roles the same for both parties?

But hey, I thought the Democrats represent the under privileged and middle class. Could this serve as an example of Democrats acting in the interest of the upper class? This project was originally low on the county's priority list prior to the Stimulus Package. But in a land of "too big to fail", the largest projects with the biggest bang for spending go to the top of the list. Spending on steroids.

This may explain why Goodland cannot get repairs done to RT92A but Marco Island can, even with an arrangement with the county in which Marco Island is compensated to upgrade county roads. Another haves vs have-nots or bigger is better? I will let the residents to decide, for it is above my pay grade.
