After receiving several federal subpoenas, we now have a formal measure that calls for a forensic audit of the rail. The question is: What will come out of it?

Come hear a panel discussion on Friday, May 3, sponsored by the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii, about what might be the best way to move forward, and why an audit to search for fraud, waste and abuse matters.

The luncheon event, running from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at a private club in downtown Honolulu, will feature Honolulu City Councilwoman Heidi Tsuneyoshi, whose bill to conduct a forensic audit of the rail was recently approved by the Honolulu City Council.

Also appearing will be prominent rail critics Randall Roth, University of Hawaii professor emeritus of law, and Panos Prevedouros, chairman of the UH civil and environmental engineering department.

Keli‘i Akina, Ph.D., president of the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii, will moderate.

Admission is $35 and includes lunch buffet. For more information, including the event location, email info@grassrootinstitute.org or call (808) 591-9193.

Please join us for this important discussion.
