Written by So the Board of Directors of the MWAA, who somehow has control over the metro, gets to decide how to spend everyone else’s money and does so against the wishes of everyone. Here is what this Board of Idiots did. They decided to put the metro stop at Dulles Airport underground thereby adding $300 Million in costs and 6 months in time to the project. Everyone else wanted it above ground because it was more fiscally responsible.
And what reason did these morons give for the underground station? It would protect the riders from the elements and be closer to the airport terminal. Really? $300 Million for that. Here is an alternative to wasting $300 Million – Umbrellas and walking shoes. But I have a sneaking suspicion that the MWAA Board of Corruption is somehow making a ton of money by wasting $300 Million of other peoples money to keep train riders dry and fat. Is it any surprise this board is appointed by politicians that are all too experienced at spending other peoples money while taking “contributions” from PACs, lobbyists and other special interest groups. But that is what our government has evolved into as explained in this very good paper on how the US government now works.
