HART to seek another bailout for financially troubled rail system By Rick Daysog | March 14, 2021 at 5:26 PM HST - Updated March 15 at 12:56 PM
HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Despite the financial toll of the pandemic on Hawaii taxpayers and the state budget, the rail authority said it will likely seek another bailout from the state Legislature.
With the troubled project facing a new shortfall of up to $3 billion, Joey Manahan, director of government relations at the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation, said HART may have to seek an extension to the 0.5% general excise tax surcharge beyond 2030.

Former council member details focus of federal probe into ex-HPD chiefâs payoff
Former council member details focus of federal probe into ex-HPD chiefâs payoff By Lynn Kawano | February 5, 2021 at 5:15 PM HST - Updated February 5 at 6:36 PM
HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - All nine members of the 2017 Honolulu City Council have now testified before a federal grand jury investigating the payoff for disgraced ex-HPD Chief Louis Kealoha.
All of them publicly opposed the deal back then but the Honolulu Police Commission went ahead and approved it anyway after negotiating the $250,000 payoff in secret.
Kym Pine, who was on the council at the time, said the grand jurors had video of the council grilling former commission Chairman Max Sword during a committee meeting four years ago.

This Saturday, Ann Kobayashi, Joey Manahan, Ron Menor and Kym Pine will bid farewell to Honolulu Hale.
During their time on the council, these members had to address some of the most challenging issues in recent memory – ranging from the rail project, homelessness, affordable housing, climate change and COVID-19 related efforts.
While the complexity of some issues requires more time to solve, each member believes they have made a positive impact on their districts.
Chair Kobayashi says she s worked hard to improve parks in her community. We finally got the Old Stadium Park into shape, but that took quite a few years, she said. Parks are very important, and especially Ala Moana Park. I think we finally got the administration to recognize that Ala Moana Park is a people s park.
