Whether needed or not needed, an incredible expense about to be wasted.  Yet another in a series of $100 million-plus boondoggles (think Highway 20 or Columbia River crossing) brought to us by our ever-so-wise bureaucratic masters.  Gary, do you really wonder why so many people are asking what sort of monkeys, magpies, and ringtailed meerkats we have running the show in Salem, and what are they smoking??  :(
