"The legislature didn't help the city get the funding."

BB: The legislature gave the City 20 years of GET funding - all that they asked for, agreed to and said would be enough to complete 20 miles of Rail.  It was only when they realized a few months ago that the City needed more and the legislature, as they should have, called "BS". 

The bad guy here is not the legislature, it is and always will be HART and the City for their incompetence, malfeasance and corruption, IMO.
