text: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting better results.   We have kirk mismanaging rail and asking for more money in 2015.  In 2015, the legislature gave him an extension that was nearly a billion dollars more than he asked for.   Now in 2017, he's back asking for a blank check.   There's nothing discernible to show that the rail project has suddenly been managed better or that it's no track.   The mayor cannot even tell the legislature how much rail will cost.   
  
  Maybe it's time to let the project run out of money until these questions can be answered.  And how about cutting costs such as HART's million dollar lease in Alii tower?   How about the city actually putting some skin in the game?  
  
  If Kirk is unable or unwilling to do his part. why should tax payers keep getting hosed for his mistakes and incompetence?
