Rail Fiasco and Truth telling are the issues.  FTA interagency emails that went public commented on Caldwell's administration as demonstrating
 "lousy practices of public manipulation", willingness to "deceive with no remorse" use of "inaccurate statements".  Caldwell recent conference with FTA resulted in exactly what he wanted--build the rail as originally planned.  Caldwell now has leverage to pressure legislature to extend GTE.  Djou can find out the truth: what is actual cost of building rail from Kapolei to Airport; real cost of Airport to Middle Street, including realigning power lines; cost and source of funding the subsidy for rail once built; number of riders and cost of a ticket; where commuters will park; cost of building the rail as currently planned to Ala Moana.  Armed with the truth Djou and a responsible traffic reduction plan, Djou can approach the FTA with expectation of receiving support.  Caldwell is a failed Mayor with no credibility with the FTA.
