Having used rail transit systems in Korea, Japan, Washington DC and Germany I believe rail in Hawaii is long overdue.  The rail system itself is a great challenge for most to rap their minds around that may not have a need or experienced ridership with these systems. What really is the issue I believe for most is the inability of our government officials and private industries that are responsible for building and managing this resource to move forward with integrity.  They have done all of Hawaii's taxpayers a great injustice and continue to project a cloud of corruption, self interest and discontent concerning the rail. Fortunately CB provides an avenue for all to voice opinions and more importantly inform the public on events that affect us.  We have the power to end this culture of greed by voting out the self serving from office and ensuring we select politicians that are not puppets but true leaders of integrity. Making the right choice requires due diligence on our behalf.
