My concern is that political posturing might actually gain traction and get off the ground... inevitably funds would run short, corners would be cut, work would be left undone, etc... What's worse than an ill conceived project being built? An ill conceived project being 1/2 built.
Perhaps a better political legacy would be going down in history as the administration that built a decent, smart, modern road and who didn't F-up the eco-system our tourism depends on...
Question: Uh... just where would a "sewage lagoon" disperse to during the next big storm???
