I can't believe it... I am nearing 80 years old,and I was a draftsman for Maguire Assoc. in 1973, when the drawings for the sewers in Warwick were being finalized. What is wrong with the people in power in R I ..that they have to have a Cash Cow with everything they seem to do. Why can't they just DO IT. I have a family there, and it is my greatest wish that the Warwick sewers and that #*&%@ly airport fiasco will stop making headlines. Here in AZ when we start a job it seems to get done..efficiently and on time...with none of these.."Change order fiascos " that so many Engineering Firms seem to have to keep afloat. It looks like most committees want to milk that Ole Cash Cow also.No wonder one third of my classmates have moved out and do not want to ever go back.Maybe it;s because I have worked with some of the finast engineers of R I ,,,Jim Ryan ,Bill Dodge,Pat Cardola and Robert Hartman.I was so fortunate to have them as teachers.And.. Please.....Lincoln ...stop with the "Holiday Tree" stuff,,,it is an embarassment to retirees living out of State
