I think the lowest she ever finished in her 30 years was 3rd. It's the local vote, they are sick and tired of these transplants and hippie Joann telling the locals to trust them.

Uneducated and undereducated nonqualified people's salaries being proposed to raise from 30K-70K and 50K to 100K and that's just a couple of examples. The third party audit exposed the illegal hiring practices of the county of Kauai under the leadership of this Do Nothing Mayor. All talk and spend but nothing io show for.

Obviously you have not been in business on this island or you wouldn't feel that the County Director is doing a good thing. Mike is only here until he gets enough credibility to advance to a real Big Boy State job. He is arrogant and controls the Planning Commission like they are his li'l children. Not one independent brain the commission. That is another story.<br />If the Planners and Council let certain people go on a continuing basis it is wrong.<br />Laws are there for everyone. The rule of law is the foundation of society.<br />The places that have consistent preferential treatment are rampant in history. Third Reich, USSR, PRC, Zimbabwe etc.<br />A little oversight here and there is part of life. But LAW IS LAW.<br />Again, I am against TVRs etc. but this Mayor and Director took law and enforcement into their own hands, let hundreds of known illegal units slide and went after the Haoles. Hanamaulu, Kapahi, Puhi..a gajillion illegals. Shucks, even Big Boy Bynum got away with his illegal rental and got 300K to boot. And then the Planning Director composed the Bynum Ricecooker rule which addresses electrical plugs. This made every large kitchen illegal. No plug can be X number of feet from the sink..Crazy!<br /><br />“We cannot expect people to have respect for law and order until we teach respect to those we have entrusted to enforce those laws.” Thompson<br />“If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law.”<br />― Winston S. Churchill<br />“Laws are spider webs through which the big flies pass and the little ones get caught.”<br />― Honoré de Balzac<br /><br />“The only stable state is the one in which all men are equal before the law.”<br />― Aristotle<br /><br />I am one of the lucky guys who have had many violations overlooked on many of my properties, but I have been here a while. So maybe I are in the "good guy club". You are cornfused on the "grandfather" dealybob....The Iniki law allowed Coco Palms....unless you fall under Iniki the laws apply. Mike Dahlig's beer place is a direct violation. The guy who did the first build out was held to standard. The beer swiller guy was exempted. ........The Planning Director picks and chooses who to go after or who to let slide. This is not justice. <br />Plus the Planning Department did NOT ask most of the owners on anything with the weird expensive Rice Street build out. Most Rice Street owners (they are kinda old, y'know) only learned what was happening via the coverage in the GI. Millions of dollars to make Rice Street cute. BS.....Rice Street is dead. The only real business there are the hundreds of State/County workers who twiddle their thumbs in the Round and Square buildings.<br />Mel lets it go. The Mayor lets it go. Ce la vie! But someday, someone is going to put it together and sue the bejeezus out of the County. IE 4th amendment, 14th amendment etc.<br />Laws should be for everybody. Not just who you -- Know and Blow.<br /><br />The Anahola illegal tent city will be allowed to continue. The Anahola Kipikai group will get the Church camp...and the rest of the Hawaiians will be left out. Even as their 6000 mauka acres is idle. WTF.<br />It was better when everything was done in the good Mayor Kunimura's smoke filled rooms. At least this good Mayor didn't go after people, he let his friends and everyone prosper.<br />Equal treatment under the law, what a concept.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-88264224790414185222016-01-01T10:26:51.215-10:002016-01-01T10:26:51.215-10:00Best crazy post of the new year!Best crazy post of the new year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-17704077952066285212016-01-01T09:30:47.665-10:002016-01-01T09:30:47.665-10:00Your commenters seemingly have lost their minds, o...Your commenters seemingly have lost their minds, one, Grandfathering applies to non conforming uses, not commercial uses, so the one year thing has nothing to do with commercial business areas. The county has always worked on a complaint basis, always, your argument that they have to enforce everything is wrong, for example the cops may not catch everyone speeding, and when you get caught speeding, an argument that they didn't catch the other speeders fails. Same as when you were a little kid and Mom disiplined you, not your brother and didn't want to hear what your brother did last year. No way can the county know everything so they do the best they can. And the paranoid writer should get help.even at the airport they chose only some people for extra checks based on nothing, but is serves to keep everyone a littles safer by the ramdomness of the checks.
