""Yes... The projected cost is covered. But the feds want the city to get more funding for possible glitches (contingency funding). ""

Baloney.  The rail was originally budgeted at 2.7 billion with an 18% contingency fund.  Even back in 2008 on the old Honolulu Advertiser forum, you "wiliki" were claiming that rail was paid for.  You claimed that rail was paid for at 5.2 billion and then 6.8 billion and 8 billion and now 10 billion.

The only thing that's certain is that you're dishonest.
