~~Public, not city, was ‘sucker punched'
Your declaration that the rail plan was "sucker punched" by the state Supreme Court does you no credit ("Disrespect to iwi isn't rail's intent," Star-Advertiser, Our View, Aug. 28). It displays your willingness to ignore the law when doing so suits your prejudices. This is unconscionable behavior for Hawaii's only statewide print news daily. The Supreme Court applied the law. If anyone has been "sucker punched" in the increasingly sordid rail affair, it is the people of Oahu.
