CMTA Rail Costs - WOW

The comprehensive list of rail costs. The total here does not include expenses for freight rail - that information is provided for information purposes only. This is the closest to an actual total anyone has ever seen, and this still excludes some ancillary contracts, and now that the FRA has delayed the entire operation the costs are only going to increase. Everyone that reads this needs to remember that this rail project was sold to the voters as a "cheap" $90 million dollar project. And by the way, Capital Metro darn well knows that they have spent more than the 105 or 115 million that they almost copped to spending on rail in the Statesman a couple weeks ago. Actually, while the past week has show the American Statesman with more guts than it has shown for several years they have also shown no aggressive interest in uncovering the exact and full cost of rail. It seems like this kinda of work falls to people that are capable of getting the information that is not handed out like the spoon fed candy that CMTA wants to have reported
