The cowboy comedian, Will Rogers, did a routine about a fellow who was asked for directions to a particular location. After contemplating the problem he announced "You can't get there from here." Yesterday, we were treated to the report of our experts on the proposed location of a new train station. Much to the surprise of no one who has followed such things in western NY, the cost estimate was close to double that originally anticipated. But the funny part is that from both preferred locations trains can't head west. There's no tracks. I guess that it should come as a surprise to no one that this comedy of errors was overseen by a professor from UB. Even though cost estimates were much higher than anticipated one has to expect that the cost will, in fact, be higher still by the time it's done due to the usual Democratic bid rigging and union featherbedding through project labor agreements. If this group had designed the thruway we'd have to drive to Erie in order to get to Syracuse. Ever wonder why people nationwide laugh at Buffalo?
