This is a mess and the Mayor and HART should accept the blame. But I agree with Senator Mercado Kim that it no longer is whether you support or oppose the project but how we are going to fund it.

At this point the Legislature may need to step in and take over and put together the best team of rail experts to complete the project.  This cost should continue to be the City's responsibility.   It is ludicrous and insulting for the Mayor to continue to ask the legislature for a blank check with the justification of "just trust me. " 

The rail project needs to be FULLY completed but it no longer should be managed by the current team.  We are "pregnant" with this project but with all due respect, that doesn"t mean we continue with the Mayor's attitude of "money is no object."
