Hey, Cavan...

I guess I'm coming from a different place here. Now that Dulles rail is underway and we have learned that No. Virginia spent more money vying for New Starts funding than they'll be getting, it's apparent that New Starts should be renamed Not Starts. (Yes, I've actually spoken with people at WMATA who confirmed my suspicion that the delays incurred in getting the federal $900-million resulted in cost escalations of over $1-billion. Oops!)

Until the we get a new transportation authorization bill, we should just buck up an pay for things ourselves versus waiting for the feds to help out.

If it's worth doing at all, it's worth doing right.

Sorry if I chose your post as a place to vent my growing frustration with the way our transportation funding system works in this region and this country.

The new motto for the Purple Line should be "It's Not Over Until It's Under." Sound familiar? ;-)
