«Our once proud state has become a laughing
stock around the country, with the highest taxes, the worst business climate, high energy costs, a failing
transportation and
infrastructure system, failing schools and rising unemployment in every region
of the state, except New York City,» DeFrancisco said.
Webber Wentzel was presented with the
Transportation and
Infrastructure Team
of the Year award for its role advising the Passenger Rail Agency
of South Africa (PRASA) on its vast rolling
stock fleet renewal and expansion procurement programme — one
of the largest procurement projects
of its type in the world to date.
