Mcfarlane always has money when he wants it

Mcfarlane and his cronies are always whining about 'limited' funds but whenever he decides something is important the money is right there. Like $245,000 for his latest brilliant idea to hire 'outsiders' to review the light rail. Nice pork barrel contract for LTK Engineering Services who by coincidence were involved with building our very own MAX system and already must be pals of Neil.
That amount of money could fund 2 1/2 full time operators! 
 HR 'business partners', assistant general managers, when Mcfarlane wants something he gets it.
