Color me unsurprised – “Tunnels’ leaks may hike cost of Big Dig”: “The hundreds of leaks permeating the Big Dig tunnels could drive up the project's $14.6 billion price tag, according to the US Department of Transportation inspector general.”

That’s your tax money, America. And mine: “The move is significant because it shows that, three months after revelations that hundreds of leaks riddle the tunnels, the top federal overseer of the Big Dig is not convinced the state has the situation under control. And if the Big Dig's price goes up, the difference would be borne entirely by the state.” Super, great, thanks Ted Kennedy.
