They should paper-mache $100 bills to the tunnel walls to plug up the leaks. Here’s the latest Boston Globe article: “$37 million OK’d for Big Dig repairs”
A preliminary review in November by State Auditor A. Joseph DeNucci and state Inspector General Gregory W. Sullivan determined that the Turnpike Authority had already authorized $35 million in leak-related payments that they termed ''only the tip of the iceberg."Fifteen BILLION dollars later. Thanks Ted Kennedy!

What a shame, that cost overrun could have paid for about 10 weeks' worth of keeping Iraq safe.
It had more to do with Speaker Tip O'Neill than Senator Ted, really. The purpose of the Big Dig was to create jobs over a long period of time, which it did.
O'Neill wanted to make one last gesture to the people of Massachusetts as he retired, and this was his reward as he capped off his Congressional career.
Congressmen love to spread the pork around, regardless of their political affiliation. The current Congress is spending more money than ever before.
