This really solves nothing. Cadwell has said he needs more than 10 years of GET extension - this bill does not provide that much funding. So where does the rest of the money come from? Property taxes? How is the city to fund rail operation and maintenance cost? Also, rail is waste money but renovating the Blaisdell is a needed investment in Honolulu. Is this what we're saying now? Stop all worthwhile city projects so the rail can come through? And Kim is right, I'd hate to be a hotel industry lobbyist - no public hearing, no nothing, and last minute boom here's another way to blow money on rail. I don't care where the money comes from - feds, residents, tourists - it's American taxpayer dollars and they are being thrown away on the most ridiculous transportation project in our nation's history. Nice try Legislature, but this solves nothing.
