Charles you missed a few important facts.  It was under George Wuerch the project started and he brought in Sheffield. It was under George Wuerch that the engineering firms were switched to the new engineering firm that came up with this new design, that is now in question. It was under George Wuerch that the deal was cut with the Assembly's approval, one week before I took office to have MARAD be the federal agency to control the project. Lastly it was under my direction that the project was broken up into five phases because the Wuerch Admin.  underestimated the costs.  We gave it a new estimate of $700+ million, which I brought to the communities attention at a Rotary meeting and many other presentations.

Charles you are good reporter and writer, but how you missed these facts is surprising. 

You are right we need to have a way forward as this is a critical part of the infrastructure of the City and the State. It is now about looking toward the future not the past.
