Surprise, surprise. Who could have possibly expected this? "Discoveries of previously unknown underground utilitites'. Gosh, who could have thought of THAT? I'm no engineer, but I would have gone over old records and maps before I ever broke ground. I would have called 811 ("Call before you dig") to have a FREE check of what's underground.
In the meantime, the businesses at that three ring circus are still struggling to survive, indeed, several have gone out of business. Why didn't the City forgive the businesses their business taxes during this porkbarrel construction? They lost a lot of business, but what the hey, right, Tumwater? It's not real money, no, it's coming out of our hides, not theirs.
Saying the city can't be held responsible for cost over runs is gaslighting. It is SUPPOSED to be able to come up with a number that will demonstrate the cost of the work, and if they think it will go over, STATE IT. There's plenty of people who have degrees in just that sort of field. No, I'm betting the cost was low balled to get the citizens paying for it to believe it. Once again, the city and the mayor, are ramming home their personal decisions at the cost of everyone elses.
