    “Ward-Waller alleged that Caltrans improperly described the first project as “pavement rehabilitation” when it will actually widen the road to accommodate new lanes. Because of that, she said, it’s illegally using state funds that are intended only for road maintenance, not widening.”

    She’s a hero for blowing the lid on that. Super sketchy and gross misuse of funds.

      It’s CalTrans, not CalCars. As it turns out, there are other ways of transporting humans and things that are not cars.

      Closer to they forgot that signing up for a gov job is inherently political, and you need to read the ebb and flow of the department. Subway focus for four years, cars the next, etc etc
