The Hoover Dam was built in the amount of time it has taken California to construct a small bridge for cats and butterflies. The Empire State Building was built in about a quarter of the time.

@MattWalshBlog Yeah, and the Hoover Dam was built before modern environmental laws, worker safety standards, or public oversight and over a hundred people died building it. Turns out not killing your workers and protecting ecosystems takes a little longer.

@brandoninNY @MattWalshBlog Yeah, California clearly has a cost problem but wildlife crossings shouldn’t be partisan. Reducing crashes, protecting ecosystems, and saving lives is just common sense
