CHAPEL HILL ? U.S. Rep. David Price said Monday that the Triangle’s
troubled commuter train project should be given a waiver from a strict
new federal cost-effectiveness standard — if it is still capable of
meeting the old standard. “We’re not really talking about an exemption
from the rules,” Price said in an interview. “We’re talking about not
changing the rules under which we have operated for 10 years.” 

 

Note to the Congressman – By all means, don’t look at rules that might save taxpayers any of their hard earned dollars.
