I was a bit disappointed that the mention of me and my blog in that HTH article only brought a meager increase of hits on my blog yesterday (291 total). When I checked today I noticed my blog’s single day record for visits (434) was shattered with 444 hits (and counting). Hopefully these new readers will find my daily blogging interesting and helpful. Thus they’ll come back and read my blog on a regular basis.
There was a pretty good article in the Big Island Weekly about the roadway improvements done to Saddle Road.I thought the reporter did a pretty good job in breaking down the upcoming construction schedule. Especially the reasons why the Kona side of Saddle Road hasn’t been significantly improved yet.
I’ve been asked quite a number times about HELCO’s power generation. Hopefully this breakdown on how Hawaii County’s power is generated here will help address this question.
If any of you thought that the new Hawaii County council would bring change Hawaii County this WHT article should put a nail in that coffin. It is simply unbelievable that the county council is going to be spending eons of money flying to Washington D.C. for a National Association of Counties conference in light of Hawaii County’s weak financial outlook.
If the latter couldn’t be bad enough apparently there has been a couple of upcoming county council meetings that were scheduled in Kona. However they’ve been rescheduled to be held in Hilo to save money. Hello county council members (is anyone home) this wouldn’t be necessary if you didn’t spend our money in such a wasteful manner by going on this trip.
Lastly, attorney Robert Thomas had a interesting commentary here about the Hawaii ceded lands litigation.Robert is not only predicting a decision in favor of the State of Hawaii. But he also noticed that OHA pretty much has conceded defeat and was trying to do damage control to prevent a more damaging ruling by the USSC.
