But you are being directed to do 'due diligence' and head off the potential lawsuit that would cost (taxpayers) even more.
Yeah, it's wasteful, but like insurance payments, it can be budgeted for and the hit isn't as big.

I understand the part about needing to justify the Highway Dept. budget as well.
But that is a bureaucratic disaster any way you look at it.

There are a lot of other ways that they waste money. They should look to getting those fixed if they wanna save a few bucks and maybe stop buying stupid stuff that no one is gonna use. A few hours OT so the public can still drive faster than the speed limit in the winter I don't think is too bad.

This is what happens when you have beancounters with absolutely NO knowledge of how what they're budgeting for works, and lots of insiders and shills that have their ear.
Most who really do know what is going on are too damn busy trying to fix the situation to get time to explain the issues.

Pretty well. I had the entire underneath of my old truck coated in it, ill get around to it on this one someday. only bad part is if you want to work on something underneath your truck and its sprayed on it, it gets everywhere
