Input: Comment: Quotes from the FIN hearing:

DeCoite – I’d like to see “a solid business plan.”

Lopresti –  “lack of accountability.”  Feels like he was “lied to.”  “Not sure whether it’s incompetence or malfeasance.”  Doesn’t “feel like there’s a third party we can turn to to check numbers.”  It’s “deeply upsetting.”  First TOD “dropped the ball,” because there was no affordable housing included.

Luke – Lack of ridership information at hearing “goes beyond apologizing.”  “We expect you to be prepared fully.”  In regards to taxes paid by nonresidents - “Do not misrepresent . . . ”  “In perpetuity is crazy.”

DeCoite – In reference to $315 million in contingency that was used up between September and January - “bleeding.”

Non-obscene
