Was there a project Steering commitee or oversight commitee that tracked the budget and kept Ms. Rell informed on the status. <BR/><BR/>I have worked on projects of "almost" similar size and forgetting to tell (in writing) the head of an organization of an increase such as this will get you fired in the corporate world. <BR/><BR/>Governor Rell has her constituents to be concerned about most who don't have to ride Metro North like we do. It is understandable she wants to hire an audit team if she was not formally notified. Just "Saying" something does not cut it. People have selective memories BUT if there was a formal report submitted to her office with a meeting that is a different story. <BR/><BR/>The governor really needs to assign someone or appoint someone to be the liason on this project and keep her informed. Hold off on paying more for the project in terms of an audit. <BR/><BR/>Connecticut is a mess in terms of transportation. I-95 is packed, parking is limited and corporations don't seem to be helping. <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>BobJohn Hughhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14832188770669485851noreply@blogger.com
