Greetings Bart, thanks for the suggestion, and I agree, it is a bit harsh, yes.  But after all these years of dancing around (what I see as) the truth, it is time, finally, to take off the politically correct gloves and speak the truth.  We have debated, blue in the face, about specifics: audits, alternatives, carrying capacity, ridership, funding, technology, budgets, etc etc, but in the end it is really about money and raw political power.  Rail was presented and hyped as a traffic solution, its only reason for being.  When that turned out to be bogus, other excuses were conjured up.  It has been a losing game to try and refute their phony justifications, when the real elephant in the room has been the money, $10 billion for their cronies.   This situation was created by the legislature, so they must be held responsible.
Among people who care and have paid attention to the situation, there is no support for rail.  They realize how ridiculous and tragic the situation is.
