I agree, Alan.  But getting HART to provide good information is extremely difficult.  In fact, I just noticed that the six year cash flow they presented to the board on 11/21/16 does not agree with the projected cash flow they included in their updated plan to the FTA.

I hope our legislators are reading this, because providing inconsistent numbers like this is not acceptable.

As an example for anyone who cares to look at the details, you’ll notice on pg. 23 of the updated financial plan, the beginning cash balance in FY 2018 is $25 million.  On pg. 28 of the budget presentation given to the board (in my link above), the beginning cash is $68.5 million.  There should be no difference.  

Also note that the beginning of FY 2018 is only about seven months away.
