#8  Of course the Governor is blaming Republicans.
"Shame on the Republican lawmakers who didn't support the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Pennsylvanian lives are on the line. It's long past time for the political games to come to an end."
He doesn't know or care that the infrastructure bill passed and that the funds to fix the bridge were usurped.

#5  Still "just saying" ☺.

Isn't interesting how well-timed, that Biden just "happen" to be in the same town where he is pushing a $1.# Trillion infrastructure bill and have Bridge collapse like on cue as an example.

What happened to the recent 2017 $$$$ and other Infrastructure bills passed over the years.

Eg. Like the one that was passed soon after the Interstate 35W bridge collapsed over the Mississippi River (Minneapolis) that killed over 140+ persons.

Were the congressional rules so lax and it became a slush fund used for pet projects like bike lanes instead of bridges for votes?


BTW: The NTSB has officially stated in the past, almost 1 in 10 U.S. Bridges are Structurally Deficient. Where is the $$$$$ going?

#4  ^ This problem was brewing a long time. All blue states have only one long term plan for their misspending - to have the rest of the country bail them out.

#2  Bike Lane Billy Peduto. They voted for him. First as a city councilman, then as mayor. Got it good and hard. But they are probably proud there that the malfeasance and misfeasance turned into a photo op for their beloved Joe.

#1  Do you mean to tell me, over the course of 50 years (yes, a half-century) there were maintenance funds made available for this structure and it somehow got spent on something else ?
