Lance, Gray's reply is pure spin.

His statement about stalling streetcars to save money is downright false. There were big federal funds on the table that need to be realized now, in this budget cycle. Delaying meant watching them disappear. Loose Lips noted this:

Tommy Wells: "Are you aware we may lose $100-197M in stimulus funding?" Gray: "Yes."

I'd love to hear the Chairman explain how forfeiting up to near $200 million will save DC taxpayers money.

The notion that there hasn't been planning is false, too. DDOT has reams of paper printed on the subject, conveniently available to you in .pdf form.
