No, nothing much has changed, you're absolutely right. The "runaway money train" continues to chug away....as political discontent increases, and the Federal funding time clock ticks away....

The only things that have really changed, since this analysis, is 1) that they've spent tens of millions more on delays and cost overruns, 2) CHSRA continues to fall further and further behind, meeting that Federal deadline and, 3) the Legislature increasingly sees this for the politically embarrassing mismanaged fiasco it really is, draining billions of dollars from other needed and more beneficial rail and highway projects that their constituents actually use everyday.
