Isn’t that a crime?
A much smaller version of Boston’s “Big Dig”. frauds aplenty.
This same type of boondoggle has been in the Orlando, FL area for decades. A light rail system is not supported by the voters, yet pushed through by the politicians. Even more sad, an area House Rep, John Mica, has been the big driver on the light rail issue....and he is usually quite conservative, even quite pro-America (voted “no” on NAFTA, CAFTA)....
This push for light-rail and public transportation is just part of a broader agenda to take privately owned transport from individuals....the car-grabbers. Before Al Gore was so into Global Warming Hoax...he was pushing the Car-Grabber agenda in his “Earth in the Balance” book.
I think the same thing happened in Charlotte, NC. I can’t remember names or anything but it seems that there was a guy at the top of the rail project who knew it was going to cost millions more than first stated but when it came to light, it was too late to do anything about it. He had to stay on as he had headed the rail project from the get-go. If it had come to light how much it was going to actually cost, there would have been so much uproar that the rail may not have been approved.
Is this a pattern?
