It was never a State project.   Can't recall  the City  ever asked the State for any advice concerning cost containment, etc. or the like.  As like before they only come to the State for the bailout.   The mayor and some of the council are trying to guilt trip the legislature.  I think they should just tell them you signed the contract early, you couldn't get a handle of the spending/change orders etc. This is YOUR problem you figure it out. Come on Chair Menor you and  some of your clueless bunch better stop taking  out your ineptness on the people of the City and County of Honolulu.  We have been patient enough with this fiasco the rail is a loser.
