No I don't think it takes a day to create but the the point is they are asking to cement funding for an open ended project without providing any service or proof of concept.
Better to break it down into smaller parts and pick 3 services and ask for 5years of funding. But then what do they do when the money runs out and there is still no product?
How do they ask for more than?

Then what do you think the Master Plan was? That was open ended? They told us what we were gonna get!

In fact more money would have been the billions of more dollars we just drained down the effing toilet that we could've got from the federal government. But nooooooooooo our taxes get to continue to be given to Seattle or Minneapolis or Denver. Thanks!

My point was the master plan should be phased in at five year funding stages which gives the communities the benefit of evaluating the value and real operating costs and which also allows the option to put the brakes on expansion time tables if ridership levels fall short of expectations.
Hell my fire service has to be renewed every two years and our Police / EMS got a new centralized dispatch center with only a two year guarantee of funds. Now ask about school millages.

Don't worry, that will dry up soon.
