more proof that the private sector is better equipped

CC Meyers has rebuilt the collapsed freeway ramp connecting I80 and I580 in the Oakland, CA for $867, 075! The damage was caused by a trucking company who's truck crashed and burned causing the collapse. The California Dept of Transportation estimated that it would take 50 days and $5.2 million to repair . . . . typical bureaucratic government thinking . . . BIG BIG BIG and LONG TIME. CC Meyers to the rescue again. Meyers completed the job in 17 days! and thereby collected the full completion bonus of $2.5 million. Oh by the way, one bidder came in with a whopping $6.4 million bid (who were they?). "This ain't no $800,000 project", said CC Meyers. And he proved that it. Meyers said he made one misstep telling a TV reporter it would be completed before Memorial Day weekend. It was, but Gov. Schwarzenegger had wanted to make that promise himself. "I'm not going to play games with him," Meyer's said.
