One: A University of N.M. economics professor claims that Rail Runner will hit (by the end of 2009), a cost overrun of about a Billion Dollars
Are you really still trying to flog a study from years ago that didn't actually pan out, and presenting it as if it's fresh today? There are no news articles about cost overruns for the Rail Runner -- at all. And the cost figures I see suggest that the total costs were in the hundreds of millions. I think your post is false.
