Video: Should Rail Be Built or Not

Malia Zimmerman of HawaiiReporter.com interviews Professors Randy Roth and Panos Prevedouros, both of the University of Hawaii on the latest update to Honolulu's heavy rail project and the status of the impending lawsuit against the city. The premise: "Should rail be built?"

My short answer: NO!

Rail costs way too much money, will be disruptive, ugly, not reduce traffic congestion and is a scheme to line the pockets of the politicians, unions and developers with taxpayer dollars. The cost that is thrown around for this project is about $5.3 billion but in reality will cost a whole lot more to build and to maintain.

Hawaii's taxpayers cannot afford to fund this expensive, ugly train.
