Roy Tanouye,

Rail would be worth it if we got what was sold.   We were sold on traffic relief and some other feel good concepts like "affordable housing".   Now we find that rail will not help relieve traffic and affordable housing is a minimum and the jobs that rail was supposed to create aren't there.

Rail was a bait and switch scam and Oahu taxpayers fell for it.

Not to mention the massive cost overruns and a complete lack of accountability.    FYI, it's not only the half cent GET, it is also gas taxes, and now hotel taxes (no more staycations  for me) and soon enough, massive property tax increases when the next cost overrun occurs and another massive property tax increase when the rail is running for O&M costs.
