The question is why there was a blowout. Was the original bid just a foolish pie in the sky number cooked up in order to get the project approved? Was there some problem discovered during the planning phase that caused a blowout?
Comments have been made implying that was the case, yes.
If that was the case then all parties were complicit in the grift including the public.
How is the general public complicit?
