The outer islands county projects aren't be funded by State funds, but the state projects are.  You can't just throw your arms up and demand that the outer islands start subsidizing the waste and abuse of HART because the Mayor doesn't want to tell Oahu that he has lied to them over and over again about having a handle on rail expenses and delivering rail "on time and on budget."

First, we need to do a forensic audit.  Whoever's lap this mess land in, we deserve to know what HART and Mayor Caldwell have been up to.

Second, if you want to turn this rail mess over to the state (just like Gov Lingle warned us they'd want to do) then it needs public discussion and disclosure and a little honesty for a change.  Although I can't imagine why anyone from the outer islands would want to take this mess of a project now that it has become a flaming dumpster fire.
