Nonsense, they have billions right under their nose but they don't even realize it. The Hawaii ERS pension system has billions in assets and it's currently losing money because the ERS fund managers made bad investments instead of investing in the local economy like the rail! The rail will generate billions in profits from mass tourist ridership, call your government union bosses and DEMAND the ERS invests 100% in the rail! You children and grand children will thank you for your immense contribution of the betterment of our island!
