I don't have a point really, I'm just saying this was a publicized ballot measure at the time and not carried out against the voters' will.

And as I said in above comment, the $9.95 billion was for the initial bond issuance. The estimate on the ballot was $40 billion versus the current estimate of between $98.5 billion and $118 billion.

The estimate from the current Business Plan is $68.4 billion, not "between $98.5 and $118 billion."

They call it a "Business Plan"? That's rich!
