This is not a glib comment, but a fact.<br /><br />We work hard, pay taxes like decent people do, and this is where our money goes! HTH can we stop this?<br /><br />There's got to be a way to initiate a new law that when these creeps in county/state position decide to start screwing over each other, the cost comes out of their pockets, not ours.<br /><br />Kapa'a Middle School Principal Aiwohi FINALLY INVESTIGATED. Story in TGI today. It took an uprising, petition, and a lot of noise to get this guy out of the way. The damage he has done, and the victims with his name stamped on these people's back.<br /><br /><br />From the Garden Island news, Tuesday, 05/28:<br /><br /><br />"Earlier this year, eBossWatch chose Iseri-Carvalho as one of America’s Worst Bosses of 2012.<br /><br />The online company tracks bosses who have cost their employers substantial financial losses because of lawsuits. The company ranked Iseri-Carvalho 39th in a list of 50 worst bosses in the nation.<br /><br />Complaints against Iseri-Carvalho or the OPA resulted in at least $228,000 in settlements in 2012.

Tough goal to reach on Kauai. Corruption, laziness, and incompetence usually get in the way, but you did it!<br /><br />Is it any wonder a retired jouralist for a HI newspaper wrote a book 'bout Kauai. <br /><br />Keep writing, blogging and exposing.

Shay straightens the carnation lei that matches her pink jacket. JoAnn, the one person certain to question Shay about POHAKU, has her hand up. Mel clears his throat.<br /><br />Mel: I've been informed the county attorney is conflicting out on the POHAKU program. Until special counsel can be appointed, we won't talk about it.<br /><br />JoAnn: POHAKU is in the budget. I have a right to ask about it. I don't understand the basis of the ruling.<br /><br />Mel: It's not my rule. It's the county attorney's opinion.<br /><br />Al: Mumbo jumbo, mumbo jumbo, prudent for CA's office to declare conflict, mumbo jumbo.<br /><br />JoAnn: I want to ask some questions based on public information. I don't see how my rights can be curtailed on that.<br /><br />Mel: I know people think I usually don't agree with the county attorney's advice, but this time I do. But just so everybody knows, I didn't request that advice. It was given to me.<br /><br />Al: I don't want to go any further in potentially violating my client's rights.<br /><br />JoAnn: Who is your client?<br /><br />Al: I represent the whole county. <br /><br />Mel: He advises me and I control the discussion on the floor.<br /><br />Tim: If we would've had those executive sessions on POHAKU that we keep putting off, would we be in this situation?<br /><br />Mel: I'm gonna be the judge here. That's speculation. Nobody can answer that. If Al can answer that, I'm gonna take him to Vegas with me.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-85605792170224133432013-05-27T00:15:27.006-10:002013-05-27T00:15:27.006-10:00Lenny and Janine gotta go with the mayor. 2014 is ...Lenny and Janine gotta go with the mayor. 2014 is just around the corner.
