Recently, Scott Reed, spokesperson for RTD said, “...We \[RTD\] had no reason to change that process. T-REX was based on that same model. The big spike in \[construction costs\] 2005 wasn’t forecast by anyone we’re aware of.” I welcome Mr. Reed to read the transcripts of the public meetings in the months leading up to 2004 election. Concerned citizens warned RTD many times that the prices of steel and other construction materials were increasing globally. In fact, there was a letter to the editor published in the Rocky written by me in July 2004, asking RTD to revise their cost estimates due to the increase in global steel prices. The voters were sold a fraudulent proposal, wrought with optimistic projections andflawed cost estimates. The result is we are going to get far less than what was advertised by RTD to make up for the current cost overruns. We the people have the power to end this madness. It is time that we repeal this 66% tax increase, refund the taxpayers, and send RTD back to the drawing board. This letter has not been edited.
