Oh, I didn't realize that an administration was obligated to continue with a poorly planned project from a previous administration. I was under the impression that the executive could stop such a project before any more damage could be caused. I thought Parnell, as the chief executive, had the authority to stop this project. Maybe I don't understand the powers of the chief executive like I thought I did.

I guess Sullivan was going rouge when he was promoting this project. But Parnell appointed him to another executive office after this, so that doesn't make sense. 

I'm pretty sure the administration had the power to stop this but didn't. Since this was finalized on his watch, I'm pretty sure the responsibility falls on his shoulders.
