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 ?

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.

That photo is a perfect emblem for the Biden Admin's effect on this country

^ 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.

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?

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.

[Epoch Times] The two sets of historic doors that lead into the Rotunda were opened by someone on the inside, and not his client, says defense attorney Jonathon Moseley.
Department of Justice video widely circulated on Twitter this week shows a man trying to open the inner doors by leaning against them, before turning around as if listening to someone, then returning to the entrance and opening the left door for protesters.
"The outer doors cast from solid bronze would require a bazooka, an artillery shell or C4 military-grade explosives to breach," Moseley wrote in a letter to federal prosecutors. "That of course did not happen. You would sooner break into a bank vault than to break the bronze outer Columbus Doors."
The 20,000-pound Columbus Doors that lead into the Rotunda on the east side of the U.S. Capitol are secured by magnetic locks that can only be opened from the inside using a security code controlled by Capitol Police, Moseley wrote in an eight-page memo.
The doors are 17 feet high and weigh 20,000 pounds, according to the Architect of the Capitol. Once opened, the giant doors retract into pockets in the walls via built-in tracks.
Moseley said he and an assistant took a tour of the Capitol on Jan. 22, along with other attorneys and investigators. The U.S. Capitol Police officers on duty were emphatic, he said, that the doors could not be opened from the outside.
"These are facts that in the supposedly largest nationwide investigation in the history of the U.S. since the kidnapping of the Charles Lindbergh baby or the search for Al Capone could easily have been investigated, check(ed), and determined before the U.S. Attorney’s Office presented false information to the grand jury," Moseley wrote.
"For these purposes, I don’t care who opened the Columbus Doors from the inside, or why, or who they worked for. History will reveal all of that," Moseley wrote. "History will care very much. But all I care about is that it wasn’t my client or any of these defendants, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office knows that or should have discovered it upon reasonable investigation."

"History will care very much"
Only if the truth comes out. Heads should roll @ Dems, Capitol Police, FBI, and DOJ

Presumably they opened the doors because they were historic and they did not want them damaged...
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
