that is just my point, h1, h2, h2 only benefits people on Oahu, yet tax from other states were used to pay for them.  so your thinking that only people who directly benefit should pay is silly.   rail has been approved many times over by the majority of voters on Oahum by a direct vote and electing mayors that are pro-rail.  do you think that they would not fund the project to completion?  you are very naïve and need more seasoning before you attempt to debate.
