Simple question from someone who cares enough to vote but not enough to wade through 72 pages... given the apparent precedent that the Feds match funding for these kinds of things 50/50, why would it have been such a surprise that they landed on the number (1.5Bn 2018) that they landed on? It's well and good for Ceci to come out and put his marker down at $700M a while ago, but just because he announced first doesn't compel the Feds to break with precedent and go over 50/50 or else be blamed for the failure...
To be clear I'm not really a fan of any of the three levels of government and I'm just trying to work out which of these idiots should wear a disproportionate share of the blame for this funding cluster and why.
