HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Sen. Brian Schatz helped secure $70 million for the Honolulu Rail Transit Project in a provision part of the new federal COVID-19 relief bill.
The new federal funding will help the city pay for a portion of the rail project, covering tax revenue that was loss due to the pandemic.
Schatz said, “Our goal here was to help the city pay for part of its share by covering the loss in local tax revenue caused by the pandemic. This provides some relief, but HART and the city must still come up with a workable financial plan and get this project up and running for the people of Honolulu.” ....

PENDLETON — Eastern Oregon ranchers say they are wary of federal legislation that would add nearly 4,700 miles of wild and scenic rivers statewide, despite assurances the proposal will not affect existing private property or water rights.
U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, both Democrats from Oregon, introduced the River Democracy Act on Feb. 3, which calls for dramatically expanding wild and scenic river designations in all corners of the state to protect water quality, enhance outdoor recreation and mitigate wildfire risks.
Oregon currently has 2,173 miles of wild and scenic rivers. The River Democracy Act would roughly triple that number.
The bill also expands wild and scenic river corridors from one-quarter mile to one-half mile on both sides of the river. For 4,700 river miles, that amounts to slightly more than 3 million acres of protected land — an area about the size of Connecticut. ....
