The fleecing of the public started in 2008 and continues under Caldwell, the least trusted Mayor of all time.  As a business owner I pay hundreds, monthly in additional GE tax and it's ridiculous that there is no fiscal responsibility or accounting for a project long out of control.  The city bet the farm on this,now $10B project and it's likely that there will be nothing left to ever do anything but rail no matter where it's stopped because of the operating costs.  Those that where in charge and responsible should face criminal charges of theft for this complete rip off and we can start with Mufi and Crooked Kirk.  We are way too small a populace for heavy rail and socially too dependent upon cars to get around.  Unlike Europe where the public grows up on mass transit, we are a society heavily dependent on the car to get from place to place.  We do not like to walk, or ride bikes.  We drive.  HART doesn't want an audit or to provide numbers because it will reveal the sad truth.
