There was a lot of federal money in the construction of the Big Dig. A lot of federal money. And the companies that did a lot of costruction are associated with the Bush Family and are now working in Iraq. (Bechtel, KBR, etc.)
Sen. Kerry was a force in the Congress back in the 80's for getting the project approved. He championed it, along with Sen. Kennedy and, in it's earliest phases, Speaker O'Neill. Then the Repub won the Governorship of Mass and have held it for the last 16 years. The Congress went Repub and when it did, oversight of federal projects, including the Big Dig and the 15 Billion dollars it cost, went away. that's your money, whether you live here or not. It matters.
This is more than a Mass issue. That was federal money and it was mismanagement and cronyism on both the State and Federal level that may have lead to this accident. Ahm, there should be some people going to prison for this.
