Where's all this money coming from again.....? (Score 1)

I recently moved to the east coast from Seattle, and the posting of this article brings up an important point. Hasn't the area already spent some millions of dollars on planning this monorail? And didn't we cut the transportation budget by billions of dollars with the $30 tabs? Why are we spending the rest of our transportaion budget for the next 10000 years on a monarail around downtown? Just wondering
