In face of opposition, lame duck Maui Council punts on property tax hike
By Andrew Walden @ 8:48 PM :: 10141 Views :: Kauai County, DHHL
|
According to Council committee agenda, “The purpose of the proposed bill is to lower the home exemption from $300,000 to $200,000, for tax years beginning on or after July 1, 2011.”
The result of such a move would be to sharply increase residential property tax bills. Calculated as a percentage, the tax hike would fall disproportionately on those whose homes have lower real estate values.

Green hypocrites: Case & Omidyar’s Maui Land & Pine tied to human trafficking case
By Selected News Articles @ 12:03 AM :: 27908 Views :: Kauai County, Maui County, Environment, Ethics, Agriculture, Labor
|
THREE MONTHS after Intajak arrived in America, in October 2004, Global Horizons sent him to Hawaii to work for the Maui Pineapple Co. Here, the pay was better than in Yakima—$9.50 an hour—but the conditions were worse. One Global Horizons agent, Intajak and other workers told me, was in the habit of carrying a knife, a gun, or a baseball bat, and of threatening workers with "deportation" if they didn't behave or meet their quotas. Just four days in, Intajak says, he watched the man beat a coworker.
The Maui Pineapple Co.'s land is nestled among gorgeous foothills, shrouded in mist and covered with volcanic soil the color of dark coffee. The now-defunct company was part of Maui Land & Pineapple Co., whose majority owner is Steve Case, cofounder of AOL; another primary shareholder is eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, a generous benefactor of anti-slavery organizations....

The multi-million dollar Washington, DC-based Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund names Oshiro as one of its “featured candidates” pumping mainland gay money into Oshiro’s campaign as he faces off against a strong Democrat Primary challenge from Honolulu Councilmember Gary Okino, a firm opponent of HB444.

The government cannot fix the economy and it cannot create real jobs. Only you, the citizen, can do that. The new Maui County Mayor must make county government work better with less money and must serve you in a fast and fair manner. The new Mayor must get the county out of your way so you can get on with the job of rebuilding our economy.
As Mayor of Maui County, I will do what we need right now to help get our economy moving again. I will rein in government. I will shrink taxes to put money back in your pocket where it belongs. I will apply county regulations so that the economy can grow and our people can prosper once again.

DLNR: State Water Commission decision balances competing demands
By News Release @ 9:16 PM :: 11704 Views :: Kauai County, DHHL, Energy, Environment
|
The Commission’s decision also strongly emphasized responsible management of public trust resources. The Commission ordered Maui County to begin construction within three years to fix the extremely leaky Waikamoi Flume to eliminate waste and provide a more reliable water source for Upcountry domestic and agricultural uses. Commissioners stated that Maui County needs to develop alternative water sources, conservation and reclamation for water supplies. Maui County relies upon stream water for approximately 85 percent of its water needs for the Upcountry system. Due to long-term drought, this is a precarious position for the people of Maui and the County needs to shift the balance of water supply to more reliable sources that do not come at the expense of Hawaii's resources and downstream users of these same waters.

Bought and paid for, will Hirono cast the deciding vote for Obamacare?
By Andrew Walden @ 1:40 PM :: 24972 Views :: Hawaii County , Akaka Bill, Honolulu County, Democratic Party, Kauai County, DHHL, Maui County, Education K-12, Energy, Environment, National News, Ethics
|
For months, Mazie Hirono pledged to vote against the Senate version of Obamacare. For her, Senate Obamacare just wasn’t socialist enough. Along with 56 other “progressive” members of Congress, she demanded a program with a public option and denounced the Senate bill as a multi-billion dollar giveaway to the insurance companies.
Hirono’s July 30, 2009 letter explained:
“Any bill that does not provide, at a minimum, for a public option with reimbursement rates based on Medicare rates--not negotiated rates—is unacceptable…. (T)his agreement will result in the public, both as insurance purchasers and as taxpayers, paying ever higher rates to insurance companies. We simply cannot vote for such a proposal.”
Hirono has maintained this position as recently as February 2, but at the last minute, barely noticed by her “progressive” base, Rep Mazie Hirono has changed her mind....

Now, more than ever, we need to bring balance to our nation’s capitol. For too long, Hawaii residents have been underserved with only “one” viewpoint represented in Congress. This out-of-balance system has failed our citizens and allowed for policies that have stifled our creativity and economic growth and burdened us with heavy taxes, wasteful, out of control government spending, and inefficient bureaucratic growth.
The people are speaking, but Washington isn’t listening. That’s why we need new leaders who will listen and provide “common sense” approaches to get our country back on track. Join me in the “good fight” and allow me the honor to represent you with “a strong voice and presence” in the halls of Congress.

DoE/HSTA try to silence Kihei PTA furlough solution
By News Release @ 5:53 PM :: 13158 Views :: Kauai County, DHHL, Energy, Environment
|
Editor's Note: On Maui, Kihei Elementary School PTA leaders are working against resistance from the HSTA and the DoE to re-open their school on Furlough Fridays. Why would the union and bureaucracy oppose this plan? The best clue is at the end of the letter:
"While the children are in their usual routine the rest of us adults can figure out what to do with the budget."
The DoE and HSTA need to create as much chaos as possible in order to stampede the legislature into raising taxes and raiding special funds. They are working to stifle any discussion of the massive waste, fraud, and abuse contained within the DoE budget. By coming up with a way to keep school open on Fridays, the Kihei PTA is getting in the way of this DoE/HSTA political game.

As volunteer sign wavers arrived, they noticed an angry man shouting at them about “F***ing Republicans!” The man picked up the TEA Party signs that were set up near the sidewalk and started to walk away with them. Hodges, called after the man, repeatedly asking him, “Friend, please bring back those signs – they are private property,” but the man continued storming off. Finally, Hodges called out that he would summon police if the man did not return the signs. The man then turned around, marched up to Hodges still carrying the signs and yelled "I'm gonna kick your a**!!".
Hodges, a former Maui police officer, notified the man that pursuant to Hawaii law, Hodges was placing the man under citizen's arrest for the theft of the signs and the physical threat. The man grew angrier and threw the signs, which are made of heavy wood, at Hodges's feet, cutting Hodges’ right leg through his jeans. Hodges stood by with the man until police arrived, accepted Hodges' citizen's arrest, and took the man to the police station for processing. Police reports were generated against the man for theft in the fourth degree and assault in the third degree.
