Cayetano Responds to Carlisle's Criticism on Rail

Ben Cayetano

Former Hawaii governor Ben Cayetano responds to Honolulu mayor Peter Carlise's criticism of the Honolulu rail project and him.

Saturday, September 3, 2011

Hey, Peter, my living in a so-called "mansion" on the top of a hill didn't matter to you when I supported you for Mayor, stumped and gave speeches for you, contributed personally and raised money for you. Like many who supported you back then, I knew you favored rail but I asked and you promised to consider seriously all sides of the rail issue — and, if you decided to go ahead with rail — then to do it right. That was all that was asked of you. (from Honolulu Civil Beat)
