I&#8217;ve struggled to juggle my day job and maintaining this site for the last six years, so I simply need time to recharge my batteries.

		<description><![CDATA[I received a copy of the Hokuli&#8217;a/AMIC/Hawaii County settlement agreement recently. This agreement isn&#8217;t most optimum deal for the county. However, there is no guarantee the county would&#8217;ve awarded anything, if this case continued to trial. American Motorist has been in runoff mode since 2004, so the county is lucky they&#8217;re getting 12.5 million to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=aaronstene.com&amp;blog=1847828&amp;post=8908&amp;subd=thekonablog&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I heard through a reliable source the Queen Kaahumanu Highway widening project was delayed until August 2012. This decision was apparently  made after a recent stakeholders meeting. Dan Meisenzahl, the HDOT&#8217;s Chief of Communications, couldn&#8217;t confirm this rumor when I called him last week. However, he sent me an e-mail two days ago out of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=aaronstene.com&amp;blog=1847828&amp;post=8904&amp;subd=thekonablog&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
