yes you have short memory - the frivolous suit by cayetano did result in stoppage of work by hart, this was ordered by the judge, who eventually threw out all 57 complaints.  he was merely complying with court procedures, when suits are filed, all actions come to stop until the suit is resolved.  The additional costs that these suits caused of more than $1.5 billion would be enough to complete the whole route based on the current cost estimates.  hence, your buddies deliberately and maliciously intended to drive up the costs of the project by filing their frivolous suits.  most of the complaints in their lawsuit was addressed in the final EIS, and the proper time to file the lawsuit was while the EIS was being developed, not 3 years after and when construction had already started.  this was a totally irresponsible and malicious action, causing the taxpayers of Honolulu to pay more than $1.5 billion to complete the project.  this is unforgivable and the public should not forget this..
