This is particularly aimed at folks in MA and others who do community and economic development. The Boston Globe is reporting that Governor Patrick is proposing to put people to work with a large infrastructure project aimed at repairing old bridges across the state. It's an issue that's gotten more attention since the Minneapolis bridge disaster
