Thank you Mr. Denby Fawcett, but I'm surprised you would accept such a slippery response (or make such patently sexist gender assumptions).

Look, my "first choice" is for politicians to tell the truth, but it's not going to happen. Just like nothing, absolutely nothing, Djou has floated is going to happen without additional expenditures that he has pointedly and repeatedly ruled out.

The rail project runs out of money at Middle Street. How can anyone possibly extend it, or an alternative such as ground-level rail or Bus Rapid Transit, beyond Middle Street without spending more? Obviously, they can't.

Djou has publicly said, repeatedly, that he wants to run a bus system on the existing rail guideway, thus abandoning rail. That's implausible for many reasons, but such talk might cause enough confusion to get him elected, which is all he really wants.

The truth is that Djou has no real plan, not even one as dubious as those peddled before by the usual suspects now pulling his strings.
