text: Mr. Bunda:  As a "Certified Management Consultant" (whatever that is), how come you aren't asking the tough questions of management?  Why is it that year after year, HART management and the mayor repeatedly told us that Rail would be built "on time and on budget" only to see those assertions broken just a few months later with new estimates and pleads for more Rail taxes?  Are they incompetent? Are they in over their heads without a clue of what is going on, or did they just knowingly lie to us?  How is the debt to be paid off? Do you know or care?
  
  Your editorial reminds me of the weasel-worded answer I got recently from a city elected official asking for justification to continue Rail construction. No recognition of the malfeasance or the broken promises or the inability to manage a project of this magnitude. Add that with the threat of having to return "billions of dollars" to whomever and the justification for Rail has become nothing more than a collection of negative phrases.
