Senate President Ron Kouchi in today's SA, said the neighbor island's get "more than their share of the vehicle weight taxes, fuel taxes, and registration fees that are collected by the State to fund highway projects, with Honolulu motorists paying 60% of those taxes, while the City (Honolulu) receives only half (50%) of the revenue". The neighbor islands have been getting help from Honolulu, all these years, for their highways, and now need to share in the cost of Honolulu's rail metro transit.
