this potential recovery was not figured into the funding plan just passed.  but if it were and the exact amount is known, then under SB 4, the funding coming from the tat would be reduced by the amount of the recovery.  this is the same situation if the suit was settled and recovery made prior the SB 4.  hence, nothing is wrong.  the state would pay the recovery to the city or hart and reduce the amount of the tat since SB 4 only requires that it fund rail up to 2.4 billion currently. this is simple math, don't know why you and the author cannot see the logic and reasonableness in this concept.
