Your tax dollars at work

Posted By: Andrew Peplowski · 3/7/2013 7:30:00 AM

West Island commuters will be able to watch the daily progress of the Dorval Circle reconstruction project for at least another six years.

La Presse carries a story this morning that says its another example of poor leadership, lousy management  and runaway costs.

The project should have been completed last year with a price tag of 224-million dollars.

Instead the target date for completion is 2019 and the price now is half-a-billion dollars.

An audit by KPMG  describes a lack of focus on the project, poor planning, and the lack of qualified people in key positions and as some of the major factors for the cost overruns.

    Sylvain Boudreau should get serious and give financial penalties to everyone involved. Funny note: ' It's not worth going to public office.' Perks are peanuts & pretzels' just like the Airlines.
