Bring an umbrella

Me, writing on Hub Politics, last August: “About a year ago, I predicted that it was only a matter of time before they shut down the $15 billion Boston boondoggle known as the Big Dig for safety purposes.”

Today’s Boston Globe - “Big Dig bailing out tunnels”: “More than 1 million gallons of water a month flowed into the Big Dig tunnels through April of this year, a year and a half after managers of the multibillion-dollar project pledged to minimize leaks.” That 1+ million gallons is for the Interstate 93 tunnel alone. Thanks, Ted Kennedy!
