As a Masshole I cringe at all the opportunities for make-work handouts and "not quite graft" this kind of efficiency forgoes. Those backwards hicks up there would be so much better off if they did things our way. We really know how to run a state. They need to think bigger. That simple bridge replacement, it should take a year. It should tie up hundreds and hundreds of orange barrels. There will need to be rental equipment parked on site for at least six months. If the local communities are rich, you gotta make sure they tie you up in court over the minutia so you can spend thousands on politically connected law firms. Triple the timeline if you're within 5mi of a wetland. Etc. etc.

(sarcasm should be obvious)
