@BluesBreaker:  The problem with the two chambers is you have one chamber (The House) willing to negotiate a little an the other chamber (The Senate) which has basically doubled down to it's original position after coming to an agreement initially with the House and then chickening out when the Tourism powers that be complained.  If the Senate isn't willing to negotiate in good faith, the funding bill should die and it will be the Senate's fault.  The House is the only one being the adult in the room by refusing to reward bad behavior and irresponsibility by the Mayor, the Majority of the City Council, and HART for not coming up with ways to save money on the project (Private/Public Partnerships should have been pursued years ago and they still aren't being seriously pursued to this day and HART is still in Alii Place paying over $1 Million a month in rent among other waste and abuse we have yet to find out about).  Bottom line is they may never agree this session.
