I don't think that is entirely true, Bart might not have revealed everything he could have, or maybe things changed.
I know that Edwards dragging things out could have influenced the out come. Things that others did, certainly did not lead to a normal time frame for the eventual closure of the project, nor did all attempts at bllocking the project lend any footing for Bart to negotiate a better deal.
You cannot say Bart misled investors.
What his real intent was, might have been as stated, but having to fight tooth and nail to finally get a closure, might have left him where we ended.
Getting the necessary approvals to do the project was and is a considerable endeavor in itself, but to have to constantly fight NIMBY's and other interests, I am suprised that it was completed.
My god, even a Mayor ran on the opposition ticked, just as one ran on the supportive platform, and both won, and influenced the stalling and the final completion of the project.
Like I said, all the controversy and stalling probably determined what happened in the end, I know none of it gave Bart any leaverage to do as he wanted to do surely.
