BlogHouston noticed a whopper by METRO's Frank Wilson in an interview with Rad Sallee:
Wilson was emphatic Friday that the five lines together will cost less than $3 billion, but he wouldn't say how much less.
Is this because you don't know, Frank, or because you're trying to keep it a secret?
Or maybe you want to play a guessing game?
How about this: let Rad write down numbers and you say "Higher" or "Lower."
For every wrong guess, you get... a Hershey's Kiss. Or some other small treat.
If you do know, you're obligated to tell the public.
If you don't know, you've been working this project for how many years now?
It's called a spreadsheet, Frank. Plug in the estimates, let it calculate - BOOM! You got numbers.
If you don't know what those are, get someone who does.
If you can't get someone who does, well, how about throwing a dart at a map, moving there, and fucking up their transportation system for a change?
Hey, maybe Carol Alvorado can teach you how to use one of those during her consulting gig with METRO. (Just warn her that the numbers might be bigger than $140,000 okay?)
