Welcome To The 11th Floor Sucker!

http://www.freeabq.com/2017/09/25/art-time-running-out/

This Alb Free Press article reports that time is running out to get the $69 million from the Federal Transportation administration for the ART Bus project. I imagine the City’s Department of Finance has already calculated and printed a $69 million dollar bill owed to Berry’s Buddy Contractors Bradbury & Stamm for the ART bus project that Berry will give to the new Mayor on December 1, 2017 after the swearing in. I can see it now, Berry will say “Welcome to the 11th Floor sucker! You owe it Mayor and there is not a damn thing you can do about it! . Oh by the way, the City’s risk management division is underfunded because we settled another police misconduct case for another $200 million, just kidding. APD is your problem now! Bye, bye, have a nice four years, I’m outta here!”
