$106,000 bus stop shelter -- and you're paying

Your tax dollars at work: Should a simple bus  stop shelter -- a bench covered by a roof -- cost as much to build as a three-bedroom house? The Oregon city of Grants Pass, this week signed off on a project to build five bus shelters at an estimated cost of $106,000 apiece, using Federal Highway dollars.  More here.
