The Shadow Government
Public authorites control many billions of dollars. In 2002 the 17
largest had $105 billion in debt.
The plumbing fixtures at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority
headquarters at 2 Broadway can join the $7,500 thermometers in the
Tweed courthouse and the Pentagons $640 toilet seats in the annals of
government waste, fraud and abuse.
Owners of Figliolia Plumbing in Brooklyn allegedly charged the
authority $25.98 for lead-pipe connectors costing 49 cents each and
marked up the cost of other materials by 5,000 percent as well.

Bridge builders emphasize safety
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - Construction on the new $632 million Cooper River bridge has been relatively accident-free, according to safety records.
Building large bridges - and the new
bridge across the Cooper River will be North Americas largest
cable-stayed span - is an inherently dangerous occupation. Construction
of the existing bridges claimed 21 lives, 14 on the John P. Grace
Memorial Bridge and seven on the Silas N. Pearman Bridge.
Nationwide, 21 workers died building bridges in the United States in
2002, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
