I agree, but gotta remember that Politicians like Kirk Caldwell and his ilk, take money, but never, ever seem to want to give it back or return it!  Reclassification of the rail project is not possible under current FTA contract conditions, as it's either build it as stated in the rail plan, or pay back the FTA monies; no wiggle room, or room for any modification of the transit rail plan; according to Transit rail project contract details put forth by the FTA and the City admin.  So it's either build it or bust...................The next "Gold Mine to be exploited"is the ToD (tranist oriented development) and you can bet your bottom dollar that Caldwell and company will have their hands in that cookie jar; just makes me wonder how many legislators will also have their hand in that "cookie jar" also?
