    Absolutely no one is surprised that he lied about how much it would cost, or just pulled a number out of his ass with no idea how much it would cost.

    Here’s to hoping it never gets off the ground, and the money isn’t spent.

      It appears that will be the case according to the article, they held back money for starting it, and the contractors don’t think the project will survive the next administration and are loath to start.

      Probably a dispute about kickbacks.
