The Bill O'Brien statehouse is so eager to look Austere and Mini-Hoover they plan to toss over 800 people and the families that depend on them into joblessness during the worst economic times since the Great Depression:
That, [Transportation Commissioner George Campbell] said, would eliminate about 845 full-time positions, mostly in the operations division. More than 40 planned capital projects this decade, including the upcoming replacement of Concord's Sewalls Falls Bridge, would be delayed or killed.
Highway grants to towns and cities would be cut, and paving work would be scaled back.
Governor Lynch, who every day appears to be putting aside more and more of his customary reserve in the face of such gobsmackingly shortsighted policy from the Concord House Circus, responded:
"The idea of laying off 800 Department of Transportation employees is preposterous. That we're not going to plow the roads? That we're not going to repair the red-listed bridges that need repairing? That we're not going to be able to give money to the local communities to ensure that their infrastructure is of high quality?"
I suppose one silver lining here is that the unsafe chaos that will be the GOP Legacy of our road infrastructure will only hasten our move toward rail.
Oh, right. I forgot. Bill O'Brien and his gang of geniuses bragged today about the vote to abolish even planning a future in rail.
