Sterling:  Good article.  You may want to come up with viable alternatives to rail that are significantly cheaper during your debate.  Do some research on Driverless Cars which I believe will be the most effective solution 20 years from now along with tax credits for telework programs and relocating a significant portion of public and private sector offices from Downtown Honolulu to Kapolei which would make Kapolei a true second city instead of the giant bedroom community on steroids that it is now.
