From the FTA in December 2016 regarding the recovery plan:  ". . . the City and County must continue to advance Plan B sufficiently in the event that they are unable to obtain additional financial resources."  I guess the message HART is sending is they're pretty sure one way or another, they'll get their money.  Forget any concerns about cost overruns or the fact that there's still no plan to pay for O&M.  Just push it on through.
