Don't forget to add a few million more in EWEB sunk costs of this debacle.  Ruiz played EWEB's Roger Gray like Putin plays Trump.  The move to EWEB's site never was a real option, not when something groovier and spendier could be built.  Instead, Ruiz skillfully redirected Gray and his staff to the UO and gleefully watched as that process fell apart when EWEB staff struggled and scared off the UO, developers and potential buyers to finally silence the noisy Mike Clark.  Public buildings are really for public staff.  They always will be.  Public processes are token efforts at best to get the public to toe the line and pay the bill, no matter what the cost is.
