text: “Saiki said that for rail to survive, the city and HART need to do two things: control costs and rebuild public confidence.” If past history is a barometer that will NEVER happen. The same sloppy (on purpose) 'creative' book keeping will continue. In a few more years (or sooner) the administration will be back with hat-in-hand, blaming other 'influences' for more money needed. IMHO, this state may be a worse swamp than DC. We've had Abercrombie followed by Ige, and now (gulp) Hanabusa?!  Cayetano and company would have been SO MUCH better than the joke we have now. What a MESS.
