Mr. Hill: The city can live within the current rail budget with a design change that includes conversion from steel wheels on steel rails (SWSR) to urban magnetic levitation (maglev) rail, a change that can deliver a full 20-mile alignment for the $6.8 billion in available funds.
Ms. Graham: Those of us who propose maglev would be pleased to describe to Governor Ige how a maglev conversion can be accomplished. If you want more affordable housing, you should oppose ever-increasing spending on SWSR. TOD works just as well around a maglev station. By the way, those who will live in affordable housing near the rail alignment would be much happier with the much quieter maglev.
Ms. Culvyhouse: I share your outrage and would be most pleased to vote for Jill Tokuda if she decides to run for a statewide office next year.
