Jon Caldara, President of the Independence Institute*, wants to kill the Light Rail expansion project known as FasTracks.
Why? Because it was sold to the voters at a particular cost and now the Regional Transportation District admits it is going to cost a lot more than that.
The posts underneath the online article are amusing, sad and funny.
Several of FasTracks supporters seem to think that Light Rail is such a great idea, it doesn't matter how much it costs.
It ALWAYS matters how much it costs.
FasTracks promised to give us A at the cost of $X. They can't deliver. The supporters should not blame people if they won't just acquiesce to paying more than $X.
I dare say few would tolerate the same behavior from a contractor at their house.
Voters should not be expected to countenance such behavior either.
