This is what I never understood and still do not understand to this day.  The rail is a City and County of Honolulu project.  Why does the State have to fund it?  Why is the State legislature even talking about it?  Shouldn't this be discussed at the C&C of Honolulu level?  And, if the C&C of Honolulu cannot afford to finish it, then the project should be dropped.  If the C&C of Maui wanted a new sewer line, would the State fund it?  If the C&C of Kauai wanted a new bypass road, would the State fund it?  How did rail become the State's problem?
