The News/Tribune talked with Will Wingfield, a spokesman for the Indiana Department of Transportation. Of the proposed Bridges Project changes, he says, "“What has been proposed today would not require the record-of-decision to be reopened," but that further changes would.
The Courier-Journal talked with Chuck Wolfe, a Kentucky Transportation Cabinet spokesman. He says the very same proposed changes may trigger “'a re-evaluation' of the federal Record of Decision."
So, is "a re-evaluation" the same as a reopening or could one lead to the other or does anyone actually know? And should I feel better that two states who are still seeking billions of dollars for an unwanted and unneeded project are unable to coordinate a story?

And for the record, I'm beginning to think that reopening the ROD - wide open - is the best course of action for the region.
This "process", to extent that one can call it that, has been a total joke. The only thing it has successfully accomplished thus far is exposing just how ludicrously non-transparent and citizen unfriendly regional decision making can be when left in the hands of narrow special interests.
Delaying action or doing nothing would be better than setting the region back 50 years due to the unfettered insolence of so few. That current bridges authority members haven't been more widely and formally called out on their misleading behavior and conflicts of interest shocks hardly anyone. That alone is a miserable but instructive commentary.
