Matthew Wald of the New York Times summarizes the controversy in determining what caused last summer’s Minneapolis bridge collapse. The usually credible National Transportation Safety Board is arguing that the collapse was caused by the mid-1960’s design. A Minnesota state agency, Congressman and much of the public are skeptical that a decades-old construction flaw was a bigger factor than government’s failure to pay for bridge maintenance. Wald nicely captures the conflict between locals looking for answers and federal bureaucrats not giving them the answers they want.  Read Matthew Wald here.
