Former Governor Ben Cayetano is running for Mayor of Honolulu under an “anti-rail” platform. In a press conference, Cayetano stated that he would rather spend the tax collections for the $5.27 billion project on improving the cities sewers and waste-water systems, as well as improving the bus system. Cayetano stated that if elected as Mayor, he would approach the current governor and the Legislature and say, “Let me use $1 billion, maybe less, to improve the buses and the bus system. Give me a half-billion for sewers, a half-billion for water systems and you keep the rest. That’s a bill they’re going to go for because they want that money. They need that money.”
