Mayor files for re-election

[ANN]

Mufi's running for reelection so he can focus on the rail project the next 4 years. That will be his legacy - the mayor who brought rail to Hawaii.

Also

Prevedorious = Toll roads, no rail
Jim Brewer = Buses only, no rail, no toll roads

Other candidates = unknown

The newspapers must inform the public about the positions of all ccandidates.

Is that the guy? NewBallot (or the newspapers) didn't explain. The guy is for the people.

Hawaii Business Magazine, June 2008. Page 42.
How we get to work:

Driving alone: 421,604.
Public Trans: 33,929
Carpool: 100,904

So a whopping 6% use public trans.

Recent headlines @ the Advertiser says bus use is "booming" and up by 3-6%. Lets give them 6%.
This means a whopping 2,000 people have now given up their cars and switched to busses.

The city says that it estimates 7% will use rail. Lets give them that figure.

7%= 5021 more users.
So even if we go with the lowest cost of $3.7Billion for rail, that means we're spending 736,000 for EACH COMMUTER THAT SWITCHES.

Yeah, he's on Olele channel 52 or something. He's been trying to run for the past 20 years.

Just like BillionsforTransit you keep posting the same thing. I and many others do not bother to read after the first line.

Grow up!

The you are right. This may be Brewer's year. He says buses only (no rail, no toll roads) which eliminates both Mufi and Prevedorious.
