SHOVEL-READY? WHO TOOK OUR MONEY FOR THIS #BOONDOGGLE?

    SHOVEL-READY WASTE OF MONEY

South Florida managed to spend  millions-- more likely billions of Tarp money from Obama--from us, the taxpayer with apparently no oversight. 

What did the counties--Miami Beach, Miami Shores, North Miami Beach do with that money? They built planters in the street, on both sides of the street and also in the middle. What did that accomplish? It reduced parking space. 

They built bulb-outs such as the one pictured above to prevent the easy movement of traffic.They can't be seen at night. How many accidents and damaged tires resulted?

They built beautiful pavers set into each street to show pedestrians where to cross. No one pays attention. They cross wherever they want. The pavers damage tires and make for a rough ride.

Shovel-ready? Maybe. But what a waste.  Meanwhile our roads and bridges crumble and our streets still flood.
