American Dream

Honolulu has one of the most successful transit systems in the country. The Hawaiian legislature seems intent on destroying it by building an expensive rail line. The governor is considering a veto, but if she does proponents in the legislature say they will try to override the veto. If she does not veto, the city council can decide to build the rail line, and seven members of the nine-member council have already indicated they will vote to do so.

The debate is also covered in the Honolulu Advertiser, Star-Bulletin, and Hawaii Reporter.
