And Redman is nothing if not a politician.

She wants it built because it will give her a ribbon cutting...she doesn't care about anything beyond that.

If that gets it built, I will give them all the ribbon cuttings they want.

Better that than ones like Ford to who actively try to cancel projects.

I still don’t think we should build bad things. For 4.5 billion we aren’t getting good value. I’m not saying we should build roads instead but there is a whole lot of transit we could buy for 4.5 billion. RM transit points out that if we cannot control costs we will get very little transit for our dollars—much less than we need. This could not be a more on point example. We still need phase 3 and 4 to happen. But Redman doesn’t.
