Or it could be like extending a local road, really little to no effect on the extreme other end.
The fact is it's silly for us to speculate. This is a clearly defined legal requirement, that likely has only a little to do with the things we're discussing, and I know I'm not a lawyer so I know I don't know whether the conflict of interest law would apply.
What I do know is that having someone in the chair position opposing the LRT wouldn't be good for the LRT.
