Keala Kaanui,  please explain how Roth, Slater et al caused a $5 billion overrun.  I've cited links a number of times before so I won't do it again, but the federal lawsuit only enjoined rail from purchasing property, and construction on the fourth and last phase of rail (the segment ending at Ala Moana).  ALL other activities could continue, including construction on the first three segments, planning, etc etc.  Since construction on the fourth segment won't start for years, how did Roth, Slater and company increase costs 100%?  If you meant Paulette Kaleikini's lawsuit, the Hawaii Supreme Court UNANIMOUSLY ruled that the rail project violated state law by not completing the archaeological survey before beginning construction.  Surely you're not suggesting that Ms. Kaleikini is responsible for the overrun because she pointed out their violation of the law?  You talk a lot about how various people are responsible - how about some details on your theory?
