Well I quoted the article:

No we are not...but rubes voted for a man who said it would happen so we get to poke fun at them while he raids our taxes to pay for it.

None of that is provable. It's folly to think it will "save us money" and delusional to say it will "pay for itself". It is a waste of time and energy on a project that will do little except make scared people think they are safer when they are not.
