Reply to comment by fasda in NJ Turnpike Authority Transforms a Useless $4.4B Project into a Useless $10.7B Project by jimmybot

Studies have shown its actually about half that .

I mean studies actually show about 2.7 billion but somehow when the started it a few years back - it was up over a billion before they even finished phase 1 of 6 staging that was only supposed to cost 200 million MAX with that including delays . Delays had entire staffs sitting around doing almost nothing for weeks or months - no one called them off stopped anything.

Someone should of gone to jail for that but it was barely a media .....200 million dollars in payroll for thousands of works and tons of supplies that sat around for months doing nothing but collecting checks.

This happens a lot. My old job had at least a million dollars worth of datacenter equipment just sitting around for over a year waiting for "resources" (eg. people they refused to hire more of and time they demanded be spent elsewhere). Then they got bought out by a much larger company and suddenly it was very important that the months-long process of standing up the new in parallel, testing, fixing, cutting over, fixing more, and decommissioning the old be completed in two weeks. Buncha clowns.
