When I was in Boston, the consensus was that it was the government and the companies underbidding to get jobs and then having overruns that caused the debacle. I think that was a typical example of what happens with these government projects where they put stuff out to bid and the lowest bidder (not the BEST bidder) gets the job.
Trump's first book (before he wrote like 100) "the art of the deal" talked about this. There was an ice skating rink that NYC had been messing around with building for years, with the project getting messed up again and again because of this ludicrous bidding process. Trump bought it and got it done in 6 months. Sure, he's tooting his own horns here a bit, but still, I think he had a valid point.
How about that?! I read a book and used it for something! Maybe this here boy dun got smarter.
