Doing the right thing on rail

Has Honolulu’s city council and the Mayor been unduly influenced by campaign contributions from companies bidding on the Honolulu mass transit system?

What a novel thought.

The city (Mayor and council members), for whatever the reasons, plan to plunge Oahu’s residents deep into debt with a much-ballyhooed and costly mass transit system that will compete with The Bus instead of compete against cars. 

Unless the city council acts otherwise, the technology companies who will compete for and eventually build the Honolulu mass transit system will be allowed to continue to contribute to local political campaigns. If construction of the hen house is awarded to the fox, what of the future of the chickens?

Does anybody see anything wrong with that picture?
