Note how the sender (CH2M Hill*) uses the passive voice:
The City of Salem and the Oregon
Department of Transportation (ODOT)
are pleased to announce that a
Preferred Alternative has been recommended
When they run their scams, con-men and other swindlers instinctively use the passive voice, known as "the language of non-responsibility," because they scurry away from accountability for their actions the way cockroaches scurry away from the light, and for much the same reason.

*CH2M-Hill is a giant corporation, and only entity who will ever benefit from the millions Salem has wasted -- and appears determined to continue to waste -- on this giant boondoggle.
