text: So I listened to the program and carefully listened to Roth's reasoning behind his fraud claim on the system. Albiet you can take any of the statements made and actions done on the development of the plan, individualize it and put it into a certain context and of course you can make it look like the city was fraudulent in it's presentation to the people. But that does not necessarily mean that there is a level of criminal activity here that everyone is involved in. What I will say, and what I didn't hear Roth say in this piece, is whether the contractors are taking HART for a ride when putting their bids together, padding their dollar figures. Based on the fact that contractors in this town see our politicians and government as nothing better than a bunch of batcrazy's, it is small wonder why they would want to pad and insure themselves from the radical gyrations this project tone has been.
