[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 374890, member: 367"] School construction costs have gotten way out of hand. Architects are usually paid a percentage of the total project costs so it's a no brainer why our schools are overdesigned and over priced . Engineers usually get paid by the hour and so should architects. I'm not much for creating more government but the state should have a professional on the payroll (and sew his pockets shut) to oversee taxpayer funded construction projects and have cost effective policies and rules in place to keep architects from snowballing board of directors into the most expensive building they can design. Hopefully we have been through enough oil booms and busts for our leaders to agree that maybe the oil drilling permits should be capped at what our infrastructure will handle instead of massive short term overcrowding and the need for more and bigger facilities that will probably be operating at 1/2 capacity within a couple years. NDDOC and rehab is another place that makes me sick to think about, The grass is so lush and green in there that it's no wonder a lot of people would rather hang out in jail/prison with free everything including health and dental benifits rather than get a job and struggle like the rest of us do.
