The Mercury seems behind in their information, but seems to have other information. They are missing the key concept about the email from Sarah Graham, the architect for the tram, informing Vic Rhodes and Matt Brown that the cost was going to be more than $15.5 million. They did however bring up a good question, "Who is going to opperate the tram?"
The Mercury did also refer to the battle between Potter and Adams, saying that Adams will have to "spin the audit" in order to show he's turned it around. I'm not fully aware of where Scott Moore was going with that statement, but there's no "spinning" an audit, that's why it's an audit. It's given as a represented maximum price the finished product should cost, if everything is done just as it says. Besides, why would Adams need to "spin" it? Adams didn't lie to the public, or to the city, and Adams can't control the price of the Swiss franc, nor the price of a ton of steel. All Adams is doing is trying like a mad man to get this tram built, paid for, and out of the way in the best way it can.
