They've been crying wolf lately alledging lack of funding. I don't buy it, but without any regular forensic and procedural audits, they can do pretty much whatever the F they want to do. The legislature sure doesn't give a damn. And that's both Dem and Repub. If I ever won the lottery, I'd fund "GDOT Watch". Surprised Citizen's for Progressive Transit and PEDS don't call out GDOT more often. Here's something: 6,000 GDOT employees and only two, yes two, out of 6,000 work on pedestrian and bicycle projects, safety, etc. Yep, you’re on point, there’s no accountability.

It's funny how GDOT gets so little scrutiny of the contracts they sign because of how secretive they try to be about them. With so little scrutiny coming from the outside, this story illustrates how there's so little scrutiny coming from the inside, too. Trackboy, that’s quite a find.
