The problem is, we're all paying the cost for this project: There was a sales tax hike that we voted on accompanying this to fund it. The board that runs this project is more interested in giving themselves high pay and bonuses, misspending funds and making terrible choices. I'll give you a great example, when they were looking into diesel electric locomotives there was a set that met their parameters perfectly they had already been designed for an area in the midwest (Chicago perhaps? I forget now), to the tune of several million dollars cheaper, they chose instead to have completely new ones designed and built, then later managed to get dibs on the majority of the bicycle/pedestrian safety fund for the county to secure a few more sets of locomotives/cars. The same money could have gone into extending the northern reach of the tracks to actually get service to the areas proposed, or perhaps even to put into the path fund to get it off the back burner.
