Wow -- a stinging rebuke that puts the local plans ("Ignore the existing bridges that we know will collapse in a big quake while we pump $60k per month for a decade to our friends at CH2M Hill to spin fantasies of a giant new highway and bridge built right through homes, while still outside the urban growth boundary") to shame.
The bizarre and confusingly named "SKATS" -- Salem Keizer Area Transportation Study -- is supposed to be the local transportation planning body for this region, but has instead strangely committed to this boondoggle, seemingly just to profit CH2M Hill, the contractor who is the only winner in all this.
As grifters go, CH2M Hill makes sister Cylvia look like a rank amateur.
