I wonder if big bro will make them get a permit to dig the old girl outta the ground? LOL

I guess, like usual, you didn't read the link. If you had or anybody else we all would know about your raping of taxpayer dollars for nothing.

Unlike you, I have been following this project long before they even began construction.

You should have told them to make sure it doesn't get buried then. Of course heck others will pay to fix er all up.......maybe. Or it will just go away and another tunnel will be dug alongside? lol

I bet you liberals would pay for folks do dig a hole on one side of a field and then dig one on the other and be happy the dirt is just being moved. Well YOU wouldn't pay for it. After all the permits and regs were taken care of and the contract we all would at some point. Fill a hole........move on.

I know enough to know big mamma is buried under liberal earth. YOU go dig it out. Not really rocket science here or anything. Or do we need a peer reviewed paper to see if the big girl is buried? lol

It's actually a great idea. If you've ever been on the Seattle waterfront, you know an elevated four-lane hi way runs right over the top of it. When finished (and it WILL get finished), Seattle will have a terrific new ped-friendly waterfront. Just like San Francisco, which tore down an earthquake-damaged freeway to open up its waterfront years ago.

But I guess the wingers think it's a bad idea, because the boring machine is a Democrat, or something?

Sorry if I got that wrong- I have trouble making sense out of their arguments.

So you have no idea why they are digging a tunnel, the different options that they looked at before picking this option, or anything at all about this project other than it is a boring machine that currently is stalled. Let me know when you have actual interest in this topic beyond your right wing generic talking points.
