As many as 400 rail supporters came out to the State Capitol on Monday, January 18, 2009.  Governor Lingle hosted a presentation by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) regarding the proposed rail system at the Hawaii State Capitol Auditorium.  The panel discussed an at-grade rail system which would result in further delays and even the possibility of killing the rail project all together.  District Council 50 members, as well as many other trades, came out to attend this important event in support of the elevated rail system.  As we all know, the Rail will help stimulate our local economy by providing thousands of jobs in Hawaii that will in turn help to get our local people back to work.
