Your local government at work
How much money would you think it would cost to select a site for the new Transit Center in downtown Knoxville? Write that number down on a piece of paper. Got it? Good.
According to WATE "news" that price is $3.1 million for the planning and selection process.
That’s right, you read it correctly. Did either WATE or any or the other usual suspects in journalism give a break out of that 3.1 million dollars?
So did this selection site allow for future development of light rail? Of course not.
Great job everybody. It’s just OPM. Other peoples money.
Carry on.
