text: It is fiction to say that Oahu taxes suppliment Maui Island. While those of us on Maui send our taxes, GET, TAT and income to Oahu. If accounted for correctly, it will reveal that Maui has been paying more than it gets back for years. But when we are talking about funding for State projects, that is OK because we are ONE State. But the rail is not a State project. It was never debated at a State level. It is a project that the City and County decided was good for a small segment of that island. And it should remain a project funded 100% by the City and County of Honolulu.
