What is the issue that Caldwell is pushing and how is it related to his political career? What is the recommended course of action for the legislature?
Caldwell is all in.  Taxes be damned.  He's admitted as much that rail and his political career are hand in glove.  Do you really expect him to let this die?  The legislature should stop enabling this man.  The city council won't approve a property tax increase and thus the project will die and Caldwell will be out of office.  Everyone wins.
