High Speed Rail Between Hilo and Kona

[Carey]

Bill, we were in Birmingham UK right after they had closed down the maglev for all of the problems. The residents had a lot to say about that system, and none of it was good. Right now there are very few example of maglev systems, and all have cost much more than planned. So, you really need to ask if there is any way you can see that 150,000 people can reasonably come up with almost 100 miles of track & the infrastruture AND maintenance. (most likely that would equal tens of thousands of dollars that each man, woman, and child would need to pay... kinda makes that air fare seem like a deal).
