Kirk Caldwell is the equivalent of Donald Trump in mendacity.  I could go on but this comment is specifically about the fear of "losing' the 1.5 billion fed $.  So we need to spend 10 billion...probably more...to "save" 1.5??!!  When salesman used to sell my dad--hey it's tax deductible!  He'd say:  You don't spend a dollar to save 50 cents.  How about a dollar to save 10 cents?  This white elephant is the biggest heist perpetuated here since the annexation.
