La Ropa Road Construction

They are working so slowly as to assure they will go over budget and make the contractor even more money than the lousy job they are doing could possibly justify, but then that was the whole purpose.

It still isn't as corrupt as the USA's Citizens United ruling, but it leaves just as bad a taste in the mouth.
