Get back to us when he is billions over budget with a poorly planned route that has missed EVERY projection and broken every promise made to the public.  

Why would you trust someone like that with one more dime, much less billions more?

You are falling prey to the "Sunken Cost Fallacy" that has brought down many a compulsive gambler and "Farmville" farmer before you.  You are focusing on what we have lost already, not what we stand to gain.  If everything Mr Caldwell says turns out to be true (a first) then we will have a train from a developer's new scheme to the fancy tourist shopping mall costing us hundreds of millions in O&M.  And that's the BEST outcome!
