drive me crazy. What is the $19.6 million dollars for? Is it all for engineering the light rail line? Is some of it for ROW preservation? If only for engineering why so much or so little? Is this the reason newspapers are dying a slow painful death?

"Matheson said the funds are to reimburse UTA for the final design and construction start of the 10.6 mile Mid-Jordan Light rail line."

I have to agree with you. It sure would be nice if a journalist made some follow-up calls to pin it down. This is poor information even for a press release.
This is where bloggers could really shine if they really wanted to show something to the "MSM". Should we complain to both the people who put out the original PR and the paper?
