linkSo a rich guy has friends with horses that have to cross a river to get to the good trails. Rich guy goes to city and says I'm putting a $4M bridge in and I'm paying for it. City is cool with that. Then he starts charging them
$270k to "finalize the design". Then he needs some help paying for the suddenly
$13M bridge and gets $3.6M from the state. Then the group in charge started failing audits and the entire thing was about to go in the toilet. Instead of cutting their losses and moving on, the city took over the project and found out that they were
still $8M short. The city tried to build a cheaper bridge, but the rich people were like,
if we don't get a fancy looking bridge we're going to throw a fit. So last month the city borrowed $6M from the Public Works Trust to finish the fancy bridge so the horses of rich people don't have to get their feet wet.
