NC would have taken 3 years on that and we have higher gas road taxes than Va.

Yeah, but in Mississippi they might could wrap it up in 6 years. They built a section of "Corridor V" in 2009, still unfinished.

In our neighboring state to the south, affectionately know as Taxachusetts, they could have it done in a decade with a cost overrun of only 300 percent or so.

Better rethink that bit of ignorance. Who makes the $$$ during time and cost over runs .

In 2001 about 25% of workers belonged to labor unions in that country. In 2014 it had dropped to 18%.
