According to an unreliable website (HIRA written by Eric Ryan) Murthy is a huge local democrat contributor.  Anyone with half a brain could be the executive director and make $400,000 plus $40,000 bonus.  The rail project has gone completely out of control.  I live in Ewa Beach, the nearest rail station will be in Kapolei 5 miles away.  From Waianae it will be 15 miles away.  We will have to take a bus to the rail, get off the bus, get on the train, ride like cattle for 45 minutes to Ala Moana center, get off the train get on a bus ride another 30 minutes to our job in Waikiki.  Why do you guys in Hawaii Kai, Kailua, Wahiawa, downtown Honolulu think that is a good plan?  We will all have to pay $125 Million in annual operation and maintenance from increased property taxes.  ALSO we will all have to pay to build 4 new substations and electrical generators to produce the power for the rail to operate, that will come from rate hikes from HECO.
