1. Maybe they should look at what they are paying them per hour. I know that MnDot had our bridge
repaired last year. They went three months over the time frame and part of the time I saw them floating down the River on a boat. Looked like they were fishing.

2. Were they privatized contractors, that MnDOT hired?

3. Do not know for sure but I am guessing not. I met the Lead guy who did work for
MN DOT because when they jack hammered, our living room and house filled with cement dust. I called Mn Dot and complained that I feared asbestos and he said the main guy to my house with a copied report that indicated there was no asbestos found in that portion of the bridge. They took their sweet sweet time working on it. I am sure they made very good money.
And for that matter...does it matter since it was our money that paid for their time? Very convenient to run over schedule.
