Good questions, John Brizdle.

Rep Cynthia Thielen recently conducted an interview with UH law professor Randall Roth. In it he lays out the compelling reasons why the project should be stopped.  

In the interview, Roth also refers to the recent Civil Beat rail poll and the need for legislators to show “courageous leadership” by saying no to further rail funding  (approx. 23 minutes into the interview).  

Our state legislators, particularly those in power positions, can help avert this terribly misguided project by saying no to the pressure to hold a special session.  Yes indeed, now is the time for courageous leadership.
