What is the cost of corruption to the students of San Diego? It is a 35%premium for a union monopoly to build classrooms. That means 35% LESS classrooms and 35%more money for those who pay bribes to work.
"In this economy similar size projects, $2.8 million, have at least 15 bidders on them. For instance, the Auto Tech Careers Center Project at Miramar College for the San Diego Community College District had 17 bidders on it less than one month ago. But San Diego Unified's Hoover High School New Workshop Building had only FIVE BIDDERS!
Cost:
In this economy it is unheard of to see a job not come in UNDER budget. That same project, the Auto Tech Careers Center for San Diego Community College District which was estimated at $2.8 million came in at $2,195,000. SDUSD's Hoover High School New Workshop Building's estimate was $2.5-$3.5 million; however, the low bid was $4 million. THAT IS 35% OVER THE ESTIMATE! "
Pass this story to your friends--this is why government is in debt--it pays 35% more for a job to be done than it is worth. In the real world this is corruption. What do you call it?
