Why are Schatz and Hanabusa getting involved?  If they cannot get any more federal money for the project, their interference only creates more problems for the Hawaii taxpayers.  

It now appears that the so called compromise rescue plan is shaped to be so laden  with more bureaucrats and purse strings that it is guaranteed to fail Federal approval.  This shibai kabuki play looks to be purposefully loaded with problems, it is almost assured to fail to pass this special session.   With even Gov. Ige endorsing this "plan", it may well be the death knell for many political careers were it to pass.

This kind of political three ring circus is courtesy of the Democratic Party of Hawaii and the self destructing Republican Party of Hawaii.  I hear the Democrats are touting comedians like Augie T to run for office in the district where GOP State Representative  McDermott is vacating his seat.  The Democrats are smart, with all the problems and taxes being created, the public could use a laugh.
