been a full independent audit investigating the rail for fraud, waste, and abuse.

How come and why doesn't it surprise many people. :grrr:

I have a theory about the cracking concret.  The rail was supposed to be up and running by then. This way they can blame the car weight, humid weather, and salt water for the crack as wear n tear.

So shame if I am a local politician. Extreme incompetence in management or blatantly ripping off the people. We deserve the government we elect. I don't plan to retire here. There's no future

You are correct - the majority of us here are NOT meatpuppets, however there is not enough critical mass to offset the Communist / Union / Government worker power collective.

Too many people are apathetic or disassociated from local politics, thus there is no check on the corruption & tyranny of the malignant minority.

This is what makes it so heartbreaking about Hawaii.

Unless you want to be dragged down Haiti-style, you almost certainly have to move on.

They are dedicated to making this the Port au Prince of the Pacific, using the money they extract from you like a slave.

That’s just how it is.  Any other version of the story is just self-deceptive happy talk.  I’m sorry it is so.

Panos said: It cost NASA 10 BILLION to reach the moon.
It will cost Honolulu $10 BILLION + to go from Kapolei to Ala Moana.
It now looks like it will cost a lot more than $10 BILLION.

I remember that there were several millions of rail funds that could not be accounted for.
Oh well what' s a few million when your are spending billions and billions.
The justice dept should really look into the Honolulu rail and shady other projects.

Amen.

They will not stop until they are stopped.

Somehow their funding must be cut.

Good point - fits with their classic MO.
