The Rail Disaster

Tuesday, Civil Beat’s Nick Grube reported that the newest appointee to HART’s board, Colbert Matsumoto, is the founder and chairman of a business with at least $44 million invested in multiple properties along the rail’s planned route. When Mayor Kirk Caldwell appointed the insurance and real estate investment executive to the HART board last month, he didn’t mention Matsumoto’s readily apparent conflicts of interest on the rail project. And though Matsumoto has a history of bringing order to troubled Honolulu organizations, his role and interests in Tradewind Capital Group stand to keep HART attorneys and the Honolulu Ethics Commission busy over his four-year term.

The beautiful Bi-Articularted bus. We could have gotten 1000 of these babies for less than one billion dollars. Ten percent more efficient than the Rail. Only thing is the Present Rail Party would not make the millions and millions of dollars in profits. The neighbor islands will never make the same mistake. It was always the money, Sonny. Yes, I heard about the new ABC party - Anyone But Caldwell.

Meanwhile we got to find night clubs far away from the noise. Steel wheels on steel rails, auwe. But there is more profit there and we are lucky that all the people on Oahu are rich. The rents are already going up. Eggs will be $5 per dozen and also a loaf of bread. Milk will go to ten dollars per gallon. But the Fat Cats spent 10 million dollars lying about Ben Cayetano for a reason. Now it has been proven that Ben has been one of the most honest politicians in Hawaii's history.
