Railyard Becomes The “Next Big Dig”

Revealing a sudden $250 million hole (and growing), the governor’s budget secretary admitted he made a mistake on New Haven’s bungled railyard project.
Bob Genuario’s (pictured) admission came during a hearing Tuesday before the legislature’s Finance Committee on a sudden shortfall in funds to improve New Haven’s rail maintenance facility. The rail yard project is rapidly emerging as a major embarrassment to the Rell administration. State Sen. Eileen Daily called the debacle “the next Big Dig,” referring to Boston’s tunnel boondoggle.

Very few people know how Connecticut government works.
Lawyers pretty much run everything. If lawyers steal from their clients, have affairs, drive drunk, or pretty much anything that doesn't get much press, nothing is done.
Favors are owed, and money from schemes is split up. Before Eminent Domain was such a useful tool, police informants were sent out to ruin and set up competition for businesses or to ruin an owner so that the property could be bought by a connected individual for a song.
The Connecticut Judicial Branch might be the most corrupt in the country. I witnessed, and was the only one to film, two judicial branch employees tell a panel of judges and other authorities of felonies committed:

Officials such as Chief State's Attorney Kevin Kane have long been active covering up felonies and conspiracy of law enforcement, elected officials, and members of the judiciary. After public testimony was sealed from the public, the judicial branch held this hearing, knowing that felonies were exposed in the previous hearing, the link above. The judicial branch pulled a taxpayer scam, saying they can't believe how good their doing, straight A's:

I reported a felony conspiracy to Sen. Kissel.
A price was put on my head and for resisting being beaten up by a police informant in my dark driveway, I sentenced to a year in prison by Judge Jonathan Kaplan and I have proof that former Police Commissioner Arthur L. Spada helped rig my kangaroo trial:

Enfield Superior Court was rented out for a private retirement party, Judge Howard Schienblum sold tickets to lawyers, prosecutors, and other insiders.
A 23 year old woman told me how judges, lawyers, and high ranking police, all white, have private parties, and a lawyer would take a cut of whatever prostitution acts she performed. She was to be scantally dressed serving drinks at private parties.
Former DCF head, Kristine Regaglia was part of a Mafia conspiracy to go national with "Kiddie Max" prisons. Officials get bribes and kickbacks, the mob gets to run, supply, and build the prisons, nationally. Regaglia was caught for taking the same bribes as Rowland but was too sleazy to remain, so Regaglia was put in charge of fraud investigation in Connecticut!
Private investigators who have obtained video and evidence out of Regaglia's garbage were corned by Connecticut State Police and told that they would end up like detainees and Gitmo if they didn't give up the evidence, in the State Police illegal search and seizure of evidence.
So, there you go, the courts are run by a criminal mob, and the Connecticut State Police are obstruction of justice thugs.
