Tom Berg‘s rail “showdown” is on course for 6 p.m. tonight at Mission Memorial.

But, just like we told you last week, it’s going to be pretty one-sided.

In a newsletter to supporters, Berg promoted the “town hall meeting.”

“We have reserved the Mission Memorial Auditorium next to Honolulu Hale to be the site for the big showdown that is to feature pro and con rail enthusiasts sitting side-by-side to go head-to -head for Questions & Answers with the public in attendance,” Berg wrote.

But the list of attendees Berg put out includes seemingly only rail opponents. Apparently, city officials and rail proponents aren’t interested in lending Berg or his event any diverse opinions or any credibility.
