The rail is not the legislature's failure.  That would be Kirk Caldwell and HART.     Rail is a city project and the legislature helped him get all the funding he needed until he went to the well one time too many.   Mayor Hanneman offered 34 miles of rail from Kapolei to UH Manoa for 2.7 billion and now it's East Kapolei to Ala Moana for 10 billion.      The legislature was right to not fund a project that is out of control to the point where Kirk can't even say what the cost will be,   Until he does, the project needs a take a pause.
