the Gouvenor had to know the enviornmentalists would stop it ,he supports them,there all democrats .He enjoyed getting credit for the jobs created by its construction.
Then got credit for jobs created for is demise and got reelected …Its no different then Government paying somebody to dig a hole and them paying somebody else to cover it up getting credit for the jobs created ,and getting re elected ……and then blame something else for the Higher TAXES needed to pay the Debt ! Its all Political BULL ,there is no defence for it ! He could have done something usefull with the ten billion ,he could have cut TAXES by 10 Billion and let them decide how to spend it ! They would have cut their debt and bought something usefull with the rest of the money,but NO you cant do that ! Government knows how to spend it better ! dig holes then cover them up…
