WHEN a project-cost increases TO A FACTOR-OF-5-TIMES the budgeted cost,

THEN criminal-convictions should be happening.

Just as normal commercial-contracts have a "kill this contract" point, for noncompliance, so too must public-taxpayer-payed projects, at 1.4x or 2x hard-max.

Extortion isn't acceptable, "just because it is government".

Take that extra-billion out of elected-authorities' pensions & pay!

Make the ones who mismanage pay.

Accountability, right?
