Oahu rail next on the chopping block?

Feds are only putting up $1.5B for Oahu rail. State had no problem funding the $4B in cost overruns, so they'll find a way to replace the Fed share. Another penny or two increase in the GET should do it.

"It's just a penny. Groceries will cost an extra dollar, what's the big deal?"
