Construction prolongs Mercer Mess

Government is slow, incapableI am a pro-government liberal, but it is projects like this that cause people to conclude the government is incompetent [“More Mercer misery,” page one, May 8].
No private construction company would have take this long to complete this project. I drive by the site daily and what I consistently see is little activity and expensive heavy equipment sitting around idly.
What more can a citizen conclude than that our city leaders couldn’t care less about the inconvenience they are causing thousands of people every day. It’s really quite outrageous.
