Thank you Ms. Luke for looking out for the taxpayers of Hawaii. Unfortunately we are in a mess. Mr. Saiki, I would argue rail became out of control many years ago. For all this squabble, the bottom line is that all this money is throwing good money after bad. Rail will continue to climb in cost. The only way to pay for this horrible disaster is to raise property taxes, extend the GET into perpetuity, cut city services, increase the TAT and that may still not be enough to cover operation and maintenance. Rail. You wanted it. You pay for it. Suckas.
