Federal funds lapsing, questions about match, poor morale, cost overruns, no plan, rats deserting ship.......where have I heard that before....?
I remember, you heard it first, right here on Altamont Press......
It's not surprising, there are actually published laws and rules that you are required to follow when you accept Federal funds, and this organizations has never had the organization, the staff, or the leadership capable of proper oversight. Just..."build it and they will come....", right?.
Now, it's really going to get interesting. I've heard that the CHSRA may even have to repay Federal funds, already expended, which may not have been properly matched. There are likely to be Congressional Hearings, and Brown is even stymied by his own majority in the legislature, who are showing increasing frustration with this diversion of scarce rail funding from many other worthwhile projects, to this bloated fiasco.
