Answers wildlife bridge critic


I taught math for 40 years, so in a brief lesson I could help Mr. Scrivano to understand that $80 million is $20 million less than the $100 million he refers to for the construction of the Liberty Canyon wildlife bridge.

His inaccurate rounding up does not clarify that a significant amount of increase has to do with the necessity of relocating electric lines and not the actual construction of the crossing, which has remained virtually the same amount.

The $15 million was never the estimate for the cost, but rather, for the studies and preliminary work necessary for the project.

I, too, have a thesaurus, so I would like to point out that, once again, Mr. Scrivano has exaggerated, magnified, overstated, inflated and stretched his representation of this project.

Mr. Scrivano refers to the 8,500 supporters as “ sycophants.” I wager every one of them would agree with me that we are “sick of the rants” that continue to deflect and name call, rather than present a single fact that could possibly support his opposition to this research-based conservation project.
