Sorry

Mistakes were made, but since 2010, CAHSR has made a lot of progress. Environmental review is nearly done. It has consistent annual funding. CAHSR has brought on cost-saving in-house staff - who cut $14B in design costs created by consultants. So why do critics focus on out of date information?

Graph shows CAHSR going from majority consultant in 2018, when an audit blasted them for this, to majority staff in 2023

Reasonable people can disagree about policies and tradeoffs but if you swerve into my replies to ignore half of what I say, condescend about the other half, and then claim to speak for "everyone sensible" I WILL block your pumpkin baby ass
