Billion-dollar budget for new international terminal at Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport rising again
The city council approved the IAH Terminal Redevelopment Program, better known as ITRP, with an initial price tag of $700 to $900 million dollars. Where does the budget for ITRP sit today? At $1.3 billion, according to Houston Airport System. (www.click2houston.com) المزيد...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
They found a few beaks that needed wetting.
Wait! What about the 1 Trillion dollar “infrastructure” pork bill? We were told airport renovations are part of it. Are we taxpayers getting the shaft again?
much adoe about nothing.
the 900 is in 2014 dollars.
plug 900 into any CPI inflation index calculator and you'll get 1.1 billion.
and.
given the price increases in building materials over that time and the 1.3 billion is a bargain.
of course the politician pockets thing is for real as well.
thank the federal reserve and their currency debasement economic policy for inflating ourselves out of debt. it's their theory, not mine.

good grief! i remember when it was houston "intercontinental" airport,with 3 round shaped terminals that were supposed to resemble flying saucers..it actually was kind of nice,but there were not the nuymber of international flights nor widebody aircraft iah has now...they renamed it geroge bush international about the same time they started tearing out the old round ternmainals,adding alternating "squarish ones" with more gates and longer concourses, and adding and upgrading a new bottom train and a "people mover"..of course it used to be just terminals a/b/ and c then they added teminal d as the internatiinal one, and expanded an remodeled adding restaurants and clubs and the like..oh for the "good old days" when there was only one parking garage and you could navigate the roads to and from and around the terminals!!
waste of $$$$
Apparently the statue doesn't look silly enough?
