Public toilet gets $400,000 retrofit?

You just can’t make this stuff up. The public was outraged a few years ago when the Defense Department paid $600 for one toilet seat for the Navy’s E-2 sub tracker.

The recent purchase by the City of San Diego for one public toilet required a $400,000 retrofit to meet California standards. And how much did they pay for this one-hole jewel? The median price of a home in San Diego County is about $440,000.

Is there any end to the irresponsible spending of the public’s taxes?
