Re: G-town Loop to face a state audit...

(*Sigh) This was what I was hoping wouldn't occur! Yes, I think they should be removed or at least resign but in any case disappear from the Loop and the CHS for good! Sentiments like wanting them in jail with some big "bubba" is not just over the top but is in bad taste and makes all of us look bad as well!
Bell, Behrens, Contigligoogoogooglieyes and the rest did some stupid, wasteful, despicable, underhanded and lousy tricks to get rid of GTL Inc. but they weren't illegal (at least as far as I can tell.) Despicable, lousy and underhanded is just business as usual in politics so nobody should really be surprised to learn that this has happened. Stupid and wasteful are the key words here! That's what the State Auditor could determine! Let's remember that Bell and Behrens WANT the Loop to succeed! It's just that these two are incompetent as well as unscrupulous and greedy! I hate to say this but how much negative feedback would there be if the CHS had managed to procure three good steamers, rolling stock, proper restoration of #9 and a "seamless transition" that had ridership back to 2004 levels by 2007? There might be the occasional grumble about "unfairness" but I would be willing to bet that most everyone would have given the whole thing a shrug and moved on!
Of course, that's NOT what is happening and that's why a state audit is called for! Let's see where this goes but please, let's not get carried away and start flaming the situation with outrageous statements that won't help at all and can only make us look bad!
