Are the new numbers any more real than the old numbers?
Or are the new numbers low balling the costs to make funding more attractive, then the old fashioned cost overruns occur making the old numbers low balling the actual costs after everyone takes their bite out of the pork?
With New York's history, are any projected costs real?
