How can any candidate detail a plan to complete rail when no one knows the full cost of Rail. It is discouraging to learn on Tuesday that the $875 million contract to Middle Street does not include HECO's work to relocate power lines.  Once rail is competed what is the source of money to subsidize rail?  Civil Beat article 6/11/15 estimated the City will need to contribute $100 million per year for Operations and Maintenance of Rail.  An additional $100million needs to be set aside annually to replace rail cars and other equipment as they deteriorate.  Currently the only revenue source to pay for these required expenditures is the General Fund. The fault lies with City leaders who proposed this Rail Project.  All of us who live in Honolulu know we need to reduce traffic congestion.  An affordable mass transit system needs to be part of any solution to traffic congestion.  Rail as built benefits special interests that in turn benefit career politician's campaign funds.
