Judge Ronald Ibarra was slated to hear Hawaii County’s motion compelling American Motorist Insurance Company to comply with their bonding obligations today. However, the Court failed to update Ho’ohiki regarding the final disposition of this motion.
(Update: Judge Ibarra didn’t rule on the county’s motion today).
The Club at Hokulia Inc. and Hokuli’a Community Association Inc.‘s lawsuit against American Motorist Insurance Company was remanded back to the Third Circuit Court in Kona by the U.S District Court on October 26, 2010 (Ho’ohiki case #3CC10100116K). However, American Motorist Insurance Company‘s countersuit is still being adjudicated by the U.S District Court in Honolulu.

I spoke to a representative of Bolton Inc. regarding the Holu Street Connector project today. He informed me construction on this roadway extension is still on schedule. They expect construction should be wrapped up by Christmas.
Lastly, I strongly believe the Ane Keohokalole Highway project has provided an enormous economic boost to Kona. The official statistics may show otherwise. However, I’m willing to bet there will be more than 19.3 people working on this project as construction progresses over the next year.

I was in the courtroom for about half an hour of the oral argument today. Former HSC associate justice Robert Klein vs. former Attorney General Margery Bronster. Judge Ibarra took the summary judgment motion under advisement.
