I’m loving the Rochester Blogosphere, trite a name as that may be.  I personally can thank RochesterTurning.com for introducing me to much of this, because strangely even though the RochesterWriters site is made up of RocWiki folks, I never saw thier blog in the blog section.  Our ever-increasing corner of the web is getting more and more angry about the whole canal restoration thing:

rochesterturning.com: turning the tide upstate

In ?A man, A plan, A canal, Panama?, FarMcKon piles on with DragonFlyEye and others irritated about the latest city megaproject/boondoggle. Jason O rightfully laments the lack of sensible media coverage in the comments ?What about non-financial things that make sense?? My point exactly. If it costs $10-13 million, for what appears at first glance to be window-dressing and landscaping, it probably ain?t sustainable.

I for one am admittedly of a mind that says that I smell the distinct odor of a rodent in all of this.  Lament the lack of non-money related articles if you prefer, but I’m lamenting the lack of money-trail articles.  Perhaps we might take a closer look at Duffy’s election campaign finance, that we might better understand the Ferry Port deal and the Canal thing.  Where the hell did they come from, anyway?

Don’t get me wrong: I like Duffy, and hate to think that there’s something untoward going on here.  But at the same time, you have to wonder at the seemingly random expenditure of money.
