A bridge designed to help mountain lions and other wildlife cross California's 101 freeway was originally expected to be mostly privately funded. The total cost of the project, which is still unfinished, has since grown to $114M, with the public now "on the hook for a large portion of it," according to a statement on the Wallis Annenberg Bridge Crossing website.
"We are not ATMs. We are citizens. And we deserve to know where our money went," says petition starter Aaron Bergh. Bergh, a California resident, has launched a petition calling for a full independent audit of every dollar and contract spent on the project before more public funds are released.
The petition is at Change.org/CABridge.
