Talk about failing big.

This reminds me a little of my home town when they build a new high school. The old high school suffered two problems. When I was a freshman part of the building, including the gym burnt down. There was then an earthquake that damaged another part of it. The city decided it was better to build a new school than the to try to fix and modernize this one.

They pass a bond, start the process and have nothing but problems. For starters they bragged about how the auditorium was state of the art. It was cool, but the plans were screwed up and it was so small you could only fit about 30% of the students in there so they couldn't use it for all-school assemblies and things like that.

Then someone working with the city stole the last $3 million out of the building fund. When the school opened half the classrooms had temporary fold out walls and there were entire sections that were unfinished.
