QUOTE I'm always curious about the city of Mpls. They seem to own every piece of construction equipment on the face of the planet including a lot of highly specialized stuff. They don't contract out much, most of their work is all in house. Takes a lot of tax dollars to buy and maintain that equipment, even if it only gets used once or twice a year. It also takes highly trained personal to run this equipment and insurance and pensions and so forth. This work can and should be contracted out, less gov. Employees and more private enterprise. My research is what I observe out in the real world, you ought to try it sometime Al. 
Great, more bloated government contractors. You do realize that taxes pay for these guys also? Unless its only a one time deal its better to do as many things in house as possible. It gives you more control over timeframes, scheduling, logistics, and quality. Just to name a few.
Here is what Minneapolis is doing this year:

Looks like a lot of specialized jobs in there.
And as for your complaining about holidays, i would hope you realize how many weekends these people work to get projects done when the traffic really light.
You need to a little more "research" than just what is visible from a truck window.

City of Mpls employees work construction on the weekend!? Highly doubtful, you will see independents working but not them.
I never said I was complaining about holidays, I said I looked forward to them.
By the way, good to have you back, imwas worried about you, I haven't heard from you since last Tuesday, expat either. Are you guys over your depression???

Oh I'm fine. Been laid up from a small surgery is all. I'm not depressed at all from last Tuesday. My only problem with the whole deal is that police, emt's, and firefighters were excluded. Gov. Koch( oops, I mean Walker) knew he would have never had a chance of passing this if he included all public employees.
So first you say that Minneapolis does everything in house, then you claim that only the "independents" are working on the weekends. Which is it?
I hope you will enjoy all your window " research" watching all those union folks build the new stadium.

I love window research, every day I look forward tomgoing to work. I get a perspective that's absolutely real.
Glad you pulled through your little surgery, I would sincerely miss you if you weren't here.

Franklin D. Roosevelt was Reagan’s political hero and he voted for him for president 4 times. As president, he said, “F. D. R. was an American giant, a leader who shaped, inspired, and led our people through perilous times.”

The national median home price rose for the third straight month in April, according to the RE/MAX National Housing Report. In the 53 metropolitan areas surveyed, home prices inched up 3.2% from last month, and rose 5.9% from April 2011.
Inventory also fell considerably over year-ago figures, indicating a potentially stronger market for home prices going forward.

Today in history, the U.S. Constitution was ratified with New Hampshire becoming the ninth state signing with a message of several changes including "Congress shall never disarm any citizen, unless such as are or have been in actual rebellion."
