IRT Toni Robinson,  the reason why rail wasn't approved when Fasi was mayor was because the lone council member who had the swing vote believed that the city and it's residents could not afford it.  Guess what,  that council member was proved correct because even now the city has showed it can't afford this project.   BTW,  you do know the rail that was proposed by Fasi went from Aloha tower to Kahala instead of what's being built today.
