The arrogance of power can be blinding. In this case, folks at the Leg do not realize that a good portion of the population now perceives Rail and the dark forces behind Rail as a political corruption story. Caldwell is trying to save his political career by passing on the political heat for his fiasco onto the state. So, legislators considering giving Kirk more money should remember that THEY will be held accountable. You can only fool the people so many times. When you give more money to a man who is not able to tell you how much Rail is going to cost, you become part of the corruption.
