If we are twitchy and irritable it is because we are constantly on guard regarding what the next project will be to exploit our county.
What I find scary is cronyism (i.e. revolving door) between public and quasi-public agencies here, and members of the so-called private sector (“consultants” and contractors) who tend to look out for their own interests (i.e., profit).
