Well, then here is a question for you:  "WHY?"  the Honolulu Transit authority and the City administration get more than a healthy cut of finances frm the .05% tax and yet both HART and the City can't seem to restrain their financial budget to keep from becoming bloated and full of cost over runs, change orders and other added costs that has fractured the original rail budget of $5.2 Billion dollars and now is exceeding close to $10 Billion!  What makes it extrremely funny is that the City had no issues with the State taking a 10% cut of the colelcted .05% taxes when i was first introduced; but now that the City has blown it's rail budget out of the water, they need more money?  Get real; as no amount of money you throw at the rail prioject will make much of a difference in the end, as the project will never be profitable, as teh rail technologies used are less efficient than modern rai tech currently in use in other countries.  Then there is the land that stil needs to be purchased...
