Ardie Cooper Shame on the politicians who let this happen by supporting this rail transit. Vote them out!
-
Dave Yester What a shame. Biggest bait and switch scam that I’ve witnessed in my lifetime. It bankrupted many , many businesses that were near construction . Created massive traffic for years and now they want to burden the taxpayers to eternity.

Mana Aloha Was never about reducing that traffic was always about development surrounding

Chuck De Francis How do you justify spending at least $10 Billion for a 2% traffic relief? /. Answer : you can’t . The whole thing makes me sick to my stomach . Corruption plain and simple . Seems to me 10 billon would go a long way to helping solve the homeless situation that everyone seems to be so concerned about.Rick Johann replied

-
Darrell Tanaka Final cost of rail, 13 billion, I’ve said it from the beginning
-
Rick Johann Darrell Tanaka low ball
-
Elgin Onaga Darrell Tanaka not.. $14 billion
-
Rick Johann Elgin Onaga – they started the thing out in the middle of nowhere so that it would look like smooth sailing. They even lied about it going to the west side. I used to live on the west side, Kapolei isn’t the west side. We have already been horribly screwed by the construction up til now. Imagine what downtown is going be like for 5-10 years (at least).

Nattie NIcolas okay, using city funds… what about unfinished business with the homeless, people with fixed income, etc., what will they get? NOTHING! WHY USE MONEY THAT IS ALREADY RESERVED? just dont understand these people that were voted in!

-
Anthony Catekista How many more times will the Rail be bailed out using funds that could be used in areas more in need..How much more will Caldwell and other crooks make by these decisions to back a leaking dam(rail), and what will happen when the dam bursts..

Mike McFarlane Choon James.. your posts are starting to sound like “Dooms Day” Post a puppy or a rainbow every once in a while. 🙂

Geri Ann Massaro This is what happens when you continually vote in Democrats. It’s all about what they want, not what’s good for the people.
-
Ihor Basko Meanwhile….Car and truck sales increase while road space decreases and traffic continues to be nightmare as well as our taxes. Time to get the Tar and Feathers ready

Lana Ululani Robbins It is bad news for elderly living on a fixed income, kanaka maoli as as a group we are economically disadvantaged, and the next generations who will be forever enslaved by the Federal Reserve. I wish former Governor Cayetano would come out of his compound again 😩
