I hope the feds reject the recovery plan and pull the $1.5b funding.  With no extension of the GET, the property tax increase would probably be around 60% based on Kirk's earlier numbers.  At that point, there would be zero public support and Hawaii would vote out all these pro-rail politicians.  wishful thinking *sigh*

Our Mililani Express took 32 minutes today to downtown.  32 minutes!  With rail, the summer break AM commute will be unchanged at an uncomfortably long 1.5 to 2 hours.  I say continue GET and use those funds to make express buses fare free.  Public transit ridership would increase guaranteed.  Less traffic for everyone.
