One Capital Metro Consultant Report Equals How Many City of Austin Firemen?


Here is just one sample, of many to come, that show how Cap Metro can drop a quarter million dollars like loosing a penny is the wash. This report image attached was approved and initiated in November of 2007 and the report has never been seen yet. We are now almost 18 months later and it is still "not complete" according to Capital Metro. The usual drill at Cap Met is to keep reports in the "draft" phase as long as possible so that are not subject to open records law, and during these long periods of time Cap Met staff works with the report authors to make sure it does not say anything that they do not want it to say. O, they would never do that -- would they?

Also note that Cap Met has paid a full time facilities project manager about $90,000 a year since the start of this project. O, and the answer the the question of how many fireman is about 5. Hmmm, I wonder what the better deal is, people that save our lives, or a 600 page paper weight that no one will ever read?
