"That's not how we build roads today," said Joe McInnes, state transportation director. "I'm offended by the fact that somebody thinks they have been discriminated against."

yeah Mr. Mcinnes I',m offended that you screw over communities in this state and shuffle projects to your own desires. If you were in a private business you would be FIRED.


"Riley said when the Interstate 565 spur was built in Madison County, "you got more than your fair share."

Never mind that it took over 20 years to build it ant it was completed over 10 years ago. So I guess what you are saying is that no new roads or improvements should be done in this county. When I-565 was built the county was so far behind then that they barely addressed the needs then.
Governor that is a very stupid comment, don't be so overly protective of your
ALDOT director. ALDOT has become inept and unable to operate AT ALL.

"Harris said it's not unusual for funding that may have been designated for a project at one time or another to be shifted to another project deemed more critical. He said those transfers can be made unless the funds are specifically earmarked by Congress.

"It's a point a lot of leaders have been making," said Hinshaw, a member of the Legislature's Joint Transportation Committee. "It seems like a lot of money that was designated for the southern bypass has been rerouted to south Alabama."

Just wait now with this article you will see the I-85 extension be completed in record time. Hey when is that interchange on I-65 and Tanner supposed to be started? Funding was designated for it years ago.

oh and of course all of ALDOTS delay tactics are working perfectly, too long so the money is re distributed, oops we found some arrowheads!! must do a study, (Hey asses, every boyscout in Alabama knows there are Indian artifacts in this state) Oh shucks a new election, all previous contracts are void must rebid, oops prices have risen can't build it now at that price so rebid.
And one of the best, if and when a project is completed the statement that it was finished on schedule never mind it is 5 years behind the original schedule. Wouldn't it be nice if all our jobs were like that. It's always on schedule whenever you finish it.

Wonder if Tennessee could annex all the counties north of the Tennessee River?. ALDOT thinks we are in that state anyway.
