TimeOut Honolulu<\/span><\/u><\/a> Look at the map, Bertram, to realize the majority of stations AND necessary ground level support\/electricity will be under water if\/when we get even a grade 1-2 storm surge! We stand to spend another $4 billion to go 4 miles through town. Are you feeling lucky, and do you think it’s worth returning perhaps SOME fed funds to change the route BEFORE we go downtown?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Glen Waterman Escobido<\/span><\/u><\/a> I hope the Feds demand a internal investigation , these politicians who voted for this rail should be held accountable, Hawaii at least deserves that.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Charles Stanton<\/span><\/u><\/a> Glen Waterman Escobido Only the voters can do that. And so far they support The Party, so don’t hold your breath. And as an FYI, I’d not look to the HI-GOP either, they were unable to get a simple email corrected after 3 years of complaints.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The BOW supply warned them about the water issues many years ago yet they ignored the advice, Hawaiian electric also warned the HART board about the cross lines that needed to be removed to meet compliance EIS requirements. The entire HART board needs to be fired including mayor PRP the ringleader!!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cecilia Raymond<\/span><\/u><\/a> Do the Islands a favor and don’t vote for these same money power clowns. They already know the cost. When the vast majority said no to the rail they listened to the minority. Have the ones who said yes am all the politicians who was and is in favor pay for it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
