I saw today on the news that the Mario Cuomo bridge in New York, the largest public structure being built in America today and dwarfs the Rail Project, is going to open soon for traffic. According to his son, the Governor of New York, it is going to be finished "on budget and on time"...words we don't hear any more in Hawaii. And now we do hear that those of us who live on the neighbor islands are going to help pay for this money pit even though the number of us who will use it amounts to zero. I agree that this runaway locomotive needs to be seen through to the bitter finish but paid for by the hard earned taxes of citizens who don't even live there? If you legislators ran the state budget like you run your budgets at home this would not be happening.
