PBN: EDC approves bonds for I-195 land, dredging project
Weren’t they going to hire someone to, you know, manage this whole thing?
Seems the now-fired EDC board members have moved over to the I-195 commission. Another big bond sale, the insiders will again soon take their commissions and percentages, and nothing of substance will be achieved with what’s left. And how much will the principal and interest on the bonds cost the taxpayers? Oh, that’s right, the taxpayers don’t matter. Only in RI.
