Before the state of Maryland decided to take an off-ramp with the construction company already hired to build the new Key Bridge, the cost of the final project may have hit nearly $10 billion, according to Maryland’s lone Republican congressman.
State and federal officials made a joint announcement last week that the current contract with Kiewit would not move forward to finish the Key Bridge rebuild, citing concerns with the timeline and cost. U.S. Rep. Andy Harris said he heard the number for the Kiewit-built Key Bridge may have been between $8 and $9 billion.
Harris made the comments Monday morning while on WBAL Radio during an interview with C4 and Bryan Nehman. The estimate was based on discussions and briefings he’s participated in through his work on the Appropriations Committee, according to this staff, including internal, non-public conversations with other members.
That is going to show just gross mismanagement,” he said during the radio interview.
POS grinnin’ Tax Moore should have had this job done by now!!! He can’t do anything right except screw things up and raise taxes. He has got to go!!!!!!! C’mon election time!!!!! I’d rather have a stray dog for governor than this worthless turd.
Audit every penny that has already been spent!
The Tax-and-Spend Moore fraudster has been blowing vanilla smoke up our butts for far too long!
That’s what happens when you bring PLA’s (project labor agreements), Minority Business regulations and the Unions into anything. Over budget, twice as long and/or substandard.
People are leaving Maryland just like the other poorly run states all because of turd Tax Moore.
