Crock of Demonrat Propaganda, 

The Hawaii Department of Transportation is NOT the DOT of the Federal Government, but the HDOT.  Demonrats always do this nonsense to attempt to confuse the weak minded lazy Demoncrat Voters as part of the Demonrats Blame Game, Deflection of Blame Game.

Each Year for Decades the Incompetent Demonrats as Voted in by the even more incomptent Demonrat Voters lost Hundreds of Millions each Year of Federal Funds and U.S. Congressional Appropriations for the U.S. Island State of Hawaii's Streets, Roads and Infrastructure (not including U.S. Army Corps of Engineer Infrastructure Projects at the U.S. of Hundreds of $Millions a Year.).

Another example of Demonrats squandering Hawaii Citizens Money (as Demonrats like spending everybody else's money)  is the Hawaii Department of Transportation's, HDOT, purchase of Multi $Million Paving Machines, but not buying the special paving materials for those Multi $Million Paving Machines.
