That $3 billion “jump start” capital bill was designed to get people working as soon as possible with “shovel ready” projects until the main capital bill was passed. Well, the main capital bill was passed, but it hasn’t been signed into law yet because we have no state budget for next fiscal year. And because we have no state budget, there’s no appropriating authority for the “mini” capital projects, either.A mess!
