This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

$20.00? For government work? I'd like to see some receipts
Presumably thats where the journalist got the 20 dollar per intersection number.
$20 for the bollards, then add $500 an hour for the one union employee and $1,000 per hour for the one union supervisor to watch the one union employee.
Figure this was a 30 minute job that they charged 8 hours for too.
Damn, I need to change unions, sounds like i could be making exponentially more. Where can I learn more about the $500/hr union?
