This is all just kabuki theatre. They will pass higher taxes because they don't have any ideas of what to do differently. The rail will get funded off of all of our taxpayers backs and they will fleece our tourists. In the end, the rail will never do what some had hoped, but it will be very lucrative for the poiliticians who keep getting insanely voted in and for the developers who have bought them. 

We don't want rail at this cost or at the cost of 3 years ago. If you can't do it for the projected $2.5 billion, change it to fit what we can afford but don't keep driving down road expecting more and more and more taxes for failed leadership and wasteful spending!
