A manhole cover costs $5,000? Someone is making a killing on these

Not even for full custom covers... apparently just art painted onto them. Paint that I'd have to assume is going to wear off in time.

As cool as it is that the town wants to give a nod to them, that doesn't sound too financially reasonable, imo.

That’s a lot of taxpayer money spent on Ninja Turtles that maybe could have gone toward school supplies or food for hungry children.

At least it's not going directly into the pockets of rich people and corporations or the police which is where most of our money goes

The kids will be better served by cool art than whatever 20 grand worth of education and food will do.

Manhole covers are pretty tightly regulated in MA ever since a bad one killed somebody. That and the occasional explosions

Still shouldn't cost that much for some regulated cast iron
