Amazing. Did the original Bay Bridge builders have this many problems? How long did it take them to build it? How much did it cost?

That's run by the Russian Mafia, isn't it?

Zec Chilovek... CEO

Nope, it's Arnold's. Grovelnator Schwarzenkaiser stopped the whole project, costing hundreds of millions because of the delay, pulled the plans out of Bechtel's capable hands without compensation for 35,000 engineering hours, and handed the whole job to his buddy Warren Buffet's buddy from Utah, Peter Kiewitt.

This is most interesting.

Is this common/public knowledge?

Is this common/public knowledge?

Absolutely not. This has been a matter of long study for me. Usually it takes digging through records to put it together. In fact, the reporter (Richard Trainor) from whom I learned the big names in how Sustainable Development really works was harassed, physically beaten, and black-listed.

The filthy relationships between big developers and the State are legion in California. Catellus is particularly bad (CalPers money controlled by Richard Blum), but Kaufmann and Broad aren't far behind. These big buck projects are a bonanza of using public pension money and control of the news media for stock manipulation. So when the Bay Bridge project came up and went through these otherwise unexplainable shuffles, I knew what to look for.
