NONE of the seven versions of Senate Bill 1183 refers to a 10-year extension of the rail or uses the year “2037.” How can a 10-year extension version be passed in conference without a public hearing? Senator Tokuda and Representative Luke should demand that the only real options are either a “sunset” date of December 31, 2027 or a 2-year extension to December 31, 2029. And where is Governor Ige on all of this maneuvering? He should state that if a 10-year bill reaches his desk, it will be immediately vetoed. Operationally superior and more cost-effective Maglev 2000 technology can be applied to save the rail project. With no surcharge extension, maglev would still enable completion of the 20-mile project. With a 2-year extension, maglev would extend service into Waikiki, to UH-Manoa, and to West Kapolei. It is time to enter the 21st Century.
