I didn't even read the article since this rail issue continues with no solution.  Our lawmakers should really tie funding and people responsible.  In other words, make it very clear on the funding bill that xyz people are responsible and if they're not able to properly manage the funds, they should be penalized, e.g. take away some of their pay, downgrade them, etc.  Of course if there are sound reasons for the additional  costs, that's another thing.  But so far, well ... we all know the story.  Sucks big time and we the Hawaii taxpayers are getting penalized!  Not right.
