You are right, it doesn't pass the common sense test. Neither does telling listeners on the radio that "I knew all along that this project was going to be late starting because of bidding for regionals and super regionals. We bowed out in the regionals....over 3 weeks ago. And yet we have not started the project. Why? The contractor has not received the NTP from the University. This project, if everything was in place, financing, NTP in hand,etc. Would have started just a few days after the regionals. It did not and there is a damn good reason. They did not have the money. They had a total of 3 million for a 17 million dollar project. You are gawd damned right it didn't pass the smell test. We just received a loan 3 weeks after this project SHOULD have started. What does that tell you?
