To compare London's airport to ours is like comparing apples to oranges. I do appreciate the observation but a big difference that we fail to see in this picture is that Hawaii is controlled by unions. And unions mean bigger cost to Hawaii taxpayers. London does not have the same problem we do and is able to repair and replace without having to deal with big labor. Our airport needs not only to be repaired and upgraded but we do need better management. The DOT is NOT the answer as they have mismanaged our roads pretty badly. When the federal transportation board sent them a packet to solve our road woes, they claimed they LOST it. The federal agency reported that the sent us info on how to protect our roads by sealing them. That which the DOT haven't done because they want to continually repair unsealed roads to maintain the labor quota for the unions who have managed to control how things are done in this state. We need to have that department audited for efficiencies as far as roads.
