City council must have received campaign donations and pressure from unions to just keep quiet and screw the taxpayers by giving more money without an audit or realistic projection of what Rail will cost to complete and operate. Do they really think Honolulu can afford to pay over $100,000/month to operate Rail? How will the taxpayers pay for the $10 billion construction cost? Only by raising property taxes. Has anyone noticed how much your property taxes have gone up this year? What will you pay if the rate doubles? The Hawaii legislature needs to order an audit by its own auditor before giving Caldwell anymore  $$$$$. Let's see how badly we have been misled and lied to so we can fix the problem and examine alternatives. Why have the politicians refused to consider paying back the Feds their $1.5 billion? It would have been cheaper than taxing us for the additional $6 billion cost over run.  The only reason is the desire to get elected rather than doing what's best for Oahu residents.
