Privatizing Disaster: New York City Has Begun Secret Negotiations to Hand the Project Over to One of the World’s Largest, Most Infamous, and Politically Connected Construction Companies: Bechtel Corpo
As the World Trade Center cleanup continues, New York City has begun secret negotiations to hand the project over to one of the world’s largest, most infamous, and politically connected construction companies: Bechtel Corporation. With barely a word of explanation, Mayor Giuliani has moved to appoint the San Francisco-based colossus to take over the lucrative job. In the process, he has brushed aside three local firms that have been heading the cleanup since September 11th.
