Dennis Freitas thinks that the state should handle rail. That might work out if rail goes between counties. However we live on Islands and that makes rail a local problem.

We have the additional problem that the state owns most of the land that the city needs for rail and roads. I would prefer to establish a rail authority system. The authority over land used for the rail system would subsume the power of the city and of the state. The authority like Hart could use the get surcharge as a revenue source
