Who is "they" that is going to line their pockets? Property owners that live near the loop corridor whose property value will skyrocket when the loop opens in 10 years? Or is it the people living in the area whose commute will be shorter and get to keep the extra gas money in their pocket? Or is it the people who will have new jobs with the economic development, getting careers and not just living off welfare or moving out of state or the region to get a job?
Any other options like some have suggested are not feasible with the financing sources that they have found (using federal highway money and bonding against future toll money).
Discussions like this help the loop, but I think claiming it is all about money is rather lame considering noone is making money off of the loop...
