It isn't the legislature's responsibility to continue to fund rail.  The mayor asked for and received a big extension of the GET in 2015 and assured the legislature that he had enough to build the rail to Ala Moana.   Now he's back at the well asking for more.

The legislature was right to end their session without more funding for rail, given all of the unanswered questions.

The mayor has failed to do his job, that's why the rail is supposed to run out of money sometime next year.
