So, what happened?
Congress and the Corp of Engineers, that's what. Read the excerpt below from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
In the meantime, the cost of the project, which is funded by White Settlement and the Army Corps of Engineers, has increased. After voters approved the $6 million, Congress placed a moratorium on the $7 million in federal funds that wasn't lifted until 2007 because of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. During that time, costs increased and the estimated cost for the project was $16.2 million, but now it is more than $18 million.
One of our sources tells us the same thing happened in Haltom City. WHERE are the cities supposed to come up with the additional money? If they call it a vision will that help? If real flooding problems cost more than estimated, what will happen with the Trinity River Vision estimate?
