... the state could lose out on more than $1.5 billion in unspent funds and may even have to repay the $618 million it already used to begin building.
This is truly the dumbest shit possible. They are going out of their way to waste money rather than see it be spent on the environment.
- Sounds like the south to me
- They’ll just get sued and waste more money on the lawsuit that they will inevitably lose.
