text: One important fact that needs to be arrived at is - "After ten years of rail GET surcharge payments, how much has the average person on Oahu actually paid".  The state has collected about 2 Billion dollars.  Once we know how much each of us has actually paid, we can then multiply that number by four - to arrive at what each of us needs to pay in order to get to 8 Billion- the total needed from Oahu rail GET surcharge payments to complete the project.  The city has never talked about this.  Only the Tax Foundation of Hawaii has looked at this number.  Their estimate is around $200.00 per person per year.  I do not want to pay $8,000.00 for this project.
