The Honolulu Rail Project Special Session convenes, today, Wednesday August 30th at the Hawai`i State Capitol — just as we are going on air. THIS story isn’t over. Their self-imposed deadline is Friday. 

This Special Session on funding the contentious Honolulu Rail Project comes after the regular session ended in May on a very sour note. The entire session had been labeled “Failed!” by the media and community advocates of all stripes. To add insult to injury, how to fund the contensious Honolulu Rail Project had been left standing at the station. The House and Senate Conference Committees could not agree and time ran out. A silly state statute pulled the plug.   

Join MarshaRose Joyner and Scott Foster as they discuss in simple language, what’s going on with the Honolulu Rail Project. Will it live or die?

Watch for PART 3 for another candid, insider talk-story on this seemingly never ending saga; the Honolulu Rail Project.
