"They harp that the estimated $10 billion rail enterprise is little more than a growing money pit that will ultimately fail to alleviate traffic woes, as is the intent."  So from CB's point of view, having eyes opened to the shenanigans causes people to "harp"?   A derogatory term in itself.  Whose side is CB really on?  That is taking a page from the Legislature playbook don't you think?  These "critics" (God forbid that anyone should criticize legalized political highway robbery) were correct to "harp" about it being a done deal.  CB acknowledges that fact later in this article we are encouraged to "be real" (see prior comment) when we are encouraged to accept the fact that there will always be "some backroom dealing."  This doesn't sound like investigative reporting to me.  It sounds like CB has jumped on the bandwagon of corrupt political dealing.
