Big Dig was a disaster due to contract specs requiring union workers, much of which was subbed out to folks who didn’t know their head from a hole in the ground- according to personal sources close to the project.

Romney is responsible for the BIG DIG COVERUP
and other coverups, too.

Also, the BIG DIG was a disaster because it
is a tunnel with one wall under water, so it must leak.

Finally, Romney brought Massachusetts to be the 48th lowest state in employment. What a POS Romney was/is.

"(Under the lash of Mitt RomneyCARE) as U.S. real output grew
13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."
