I kinda get the feeling of "fin de regime" for Mr. Vartabedian's pieces. He had the temerity to really go after the grafting consultants and contractors in his last story and continues to unveil the great likelihood of very large losses from Newsom's truncated CAHSR.

Note AFAIK he has never brought up the Ranch in his various articles. If he does I figure his retirement is not far off. Crunican critiqued Bechtel gauge and Van Ark the Palmdale-Tehachapi Detour on his way out.

Now maybe if Reiskin is thru with City employment he will have the chutzpah to pan Muni planning's stupid BRT's and fear of BART-MTC-SPUR.
