Was that paid for by Stimulus 1?
A $600 mil upgrade???? Is Mexico giving any $ for this? What kind of upgrade is worth $600mil?
Ping!
“A $600 mil upgrade???? Is Mexico giving any $ for this? What kind of upgrade is worth $600mil?”
I doubt Mehiko is contributing a single damn worthless peso. As far as the $600 million, just how much embezzelment is going on here?
