State DOT doing all it can

That’s what the Pensacola News Journal reports today (DOT defends runoff efforts).

I think the more accurate statement would be: ”

Listen we bid out the $130 million plus project and allowed the contractors to place huge piles of red clay near Carpenter’s Creek. We could have put stricter controls in, but the bids would have been higher. We never could have predicted that it might rain or hurricanes might hit the area.

Besides it’s Pensacola. No one will notice. It’s only a five to six year project. I’ll be retired, collecting my state pension and living somewhere else by the time its finished.
