Legislators forget that they have asked for stress test numbers before and the city has provided it. Now the feds want it in the 3 billion contingency funding...

"$548 million “stress test” contingency above and beyond rail’s normal contingency.

"City leaders say that under rail’s financial plan they need to show the Federal Transit Administration that they can cover a surprise 10 percent increase in the project’s capital costs. Rail currently has about $5.5 billion left in capital costs, city finance officials estimate."

It's pure shibai to claim that the city has never provided these numbers before.
