No suprise that Scott Walker is up to his neck in cement. Tommy Thompson spent zillions for highways and prisons.


If you want an interesting read on how corruption enters government through highway projects, look for a Tony Hillerman story focused around the topic (can any DU'ers help me remember which book?).
