(San Francisco, California) -- More than half the 21 companies sharing $54 million in federal stimulus funds for Massachusetts road construction have a record of breaking the law and defrauding taxpayers, according to Boston University’s New England Center for Investigative Reporting.
Aggregate Industries Northeast Inc., which was awarded stimulus contracts for $8.9 million, paid a $50 million fine for delivering thousands of truckloads of defective concrete for Boston’s trouble-plagued Big Dig project. Six of its former managers were found guilty of fraud.
