What a bittersweet day for citizens of Boston. The Associated Press puts it this way:    &quot;Don't expect any champagne toasts.&quot;   As also noted by the AP, the Big Dig's history was &quot;littered with wrong turns&quot; such as a major tunnel leak in 2004, as well as the tragic death of a motorist in 2006.Financially, the Big Dig sapped taxpayers for $14.8 billion, over five and a half times the original cost estimate of $2.6 billion. This train wreck of a public construction project should serve as &quot;exhibit A&quot; of the gluttonous waste inherent in PLAs. Such projects are also a &quot;lose-lose&quot; for employees that wish to remain nonunion because they are blackballed from working, as well as for the taxpayers forced to foot the bill."}
