Those on Oahu also protest rail hike. 

It seems preposterous that when this all began, we were talking about a $3 billion dollar project and now increasing it by $3 billion is just considered par for the course and acceptable. The Feds were in for 1/3 at $3 billion, now they "may" be in for about 5% of the possible $20 billion project. How can anyone in Hawaii think that this is acceptable and affordable through taxes or any means for a state who barely has 1.5 million population. This is ludicrous.
