This is ridiculous.  We've gone back/forth for 10 years now?  From the standpoint of the project not materially improving traffic (FACT), its gone over budget by a factor of 3 and not foreseen to get better (FACT), the "temporary tax" has been extended and now proposed to be permanent (FACT), the Ethics Commission Director got ousted because he tried to do his job (FACT), and the response to the question of what the total cost of the project would be resulted in a response "Duhhhhh, I dunno".  WHY IS THIS STILL ALIVE?  Its obvious that the "powers that be" want it to be.
