Here in Seattle, voters approved a light rail system that was supposed to take five years to build at $1.7 billion.
Eleven years later, the price tag is over $10 billion, and completion is still two years away.
Oh, and the Seattle Big Dig that got a lot of publicity when the excavator got stuck underground for 18 months?
That was NOT even part of Light Rail.
The Big Dig was part of the solution to an earthquake threatened 50 year old elevated roadway.
Yes, the State Route 99 tolled tunnel. Bertha (the digging machine) got stuck when debris got into its works, and it also hit some seemingly impervious obstruction.
