Consultants billed taxpayers for Uber Black rides to nightclubs at 2 AM, international travel, and repeated gym trips while the project faces a massive budget deficit. Our investigation reveals how a firm employing the CEO's fiancée racked up nearly $600,000 in questionable charges, all while the state project struggles to lay a single functional track.
This is a case study in government waste that goes beyond simple mismanagement. We follow the money from your gas pump to consultants who were told not to be questioned, highlighting the lack of oversight on projects that continue to balloon despite zero results. We show you the documents and the contracts—you decide if the outcomes match the promises.
