Before whining that he doesn't have enough, how about Kirk doing his part to help?   They can cut some of HART's budget, such as their $200,000 a month lease in Alii tower.   Or how about trying to get the job done with the money he has?

If the difference really is for "contingency", then I smell a rat because Mufi had a "generous" contingency for his 2.7 billion dollar rail budget.

Also, if you haven't read the opinion piece by Mr. Roth yesterday, there are billions in rail money that is not yet accounted for.
