Go Team U.S.!
ODOT says money for second Inner Belt Bridge may not come until the 2020s | cleveland.com
This is in regards to the news today the opening of the Cleveland innerbelt bridge will be delayed to 2020's at the earliest...which was supposed to replace a bridge that is already 3 years past is planned lifespan.
The delay comes from the Ohio state government postponing the project on budget restructuring.
Now I understand reallocating tax dollars is both a process and a nightmare, but when there are major infrastructure problems that are even endangering the safety of a metro of over 2.1 million people and $ BILLIONS and $ BILLIONS are spent overseas each week...THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG.
The old bridge collapsing would be the same as a terrorist attack...
Ron Paul is the only candidate that is trying to bring the tax dollars back into this country, right??

Go figure Costello. Being that I live in NE Ohio, when is it that some sort of major project in Cleveland isn't delayed for some BS reason?! I hope to God that we don't see another incident like what happened in Minnesota a few years back!
BTW good to see a fellow NE Ohioan supporting Ron Paul!
