Nice job Anita. This is really sad. I support rail. We need it for the West side and Central Oahu. But the anti-rail folks have created self-fulfilling prophecies with lawsuits that cost money, delay construction and incrementally drive up costs. It's clear that selling the idea of even more taxes to support rail will not fly, even though it is fueling a robust construction industry thereby creating jobs. And...this is infrastucture not rampant low-density, unsustainable residential development. So good news for union jobs and for our economy.

In addition I also believe that once the system is built out (way behind my time) people will love it as they do in every major city that has mass transit.... In the short term - sad.
