Oh, well that's just fine then. As we all know, federal money flows from heaven like manna, and will always and ever be increasing to cover every huge public works project city leaders deem fashionable at the time.

Seriously? Our bridges are falling apart. The sewer system is imploding, literally. Fire engines and ambulances are falling apart. Schools are awful in nearly every aspect. The roads are awful. What little mass transit there is is falling apart. The city can't manage to shut off a wildly unpopular incinerator as it seems it can't find what else to do with it's trash.

$1 Billion for unnecessary drainage system re-engineering? Why not! It'll look pretty!
