The real reason no one touched her before? She was really tight with Sen. Inouye. Rumor has it that when Mamo Cummings ran against Mina for State Rep., Inouye made sure that Mamo lost her job shortly after she lost the election. It's Neil's party now.

He had a pretty comfortable set up with the Prosecutors Office when Shay was there that allowed him to get paid for his PI services while he was on the Council. Just a little too cozy with the PA.<br /><br />Mina has always been for the people which is why she's getting screwed by Abercrombie. Sheehan, of all people to make a complaint with his history in the Hanalei boating issue is a hypocrite. <br /><br />DLNR needs to be consistent across the board and go after those who blatantly ignore the law in conservation districts like those homes in Haena. Targeting Mina looks like nothing but political retribution. And lets face it, Aila is Abercrombie's puppet.

H...Mina is a nice person and effective bureaucrat. <br />However, she has had and the State and County have known of her (what no permit?) completely illegal structures. Forget the TVR activity, which to my knowledge has been in open activity since 1979 or so. The State shut down the dwellings on Fernandez/Cockett (Billy and Doctor) property, adjacent to Mina's, pertneer 34 years ago.<br />Mina and Joann Yukimura and others of the Kauai political elite have been using the system to their advantage for years. Expediting subdivision permits, getting CPR sign offs, digging illegal unpermitted water lines - ad nauseum for family and friends.<br />The reason more of the illegal preferential treatment by the INSIDERS does not surface is because the insiders know where the other insiders have buried their bodies.<br />There are many business people who are aware of many activities regarding spot zoning, selective enforcement, tax audits and stalled permits perpetuated by insiders. These business people will not open their yaps, because they still do business on Kauai or their kids do.<br />Sorry Mina, you are a good lady, and it is unfortunate you are now in a real life puka. You have spent your life stopping other people from building and operating legal businesses, thru constant government intrusions, now perhaps you will know what it feels like to be a regular person, instead of in the bizarre world of "oh it's OK for me and my friends, but not you. We are environmentalists and all you want to do is put rice in your bowl or put your kiddies thru college. That is greedy."<br />It's always about money. <br />The only Council people I know who have avoided the temptation to use their power for personal gain are Jay Furfaro, Mel Rapozo, Kagawa. <br />A sorry state of affairs.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-78131463796994118112014-03-11T12:59:16.732-10:002014-03-11T12:59:16.732-10:00They waited to leak until Mina was on vacation out...They waited to leak until Mina was on vacation out of the state so she's not here to defend herself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-66779496706306251572014-03-11T12:52:01.775-10:002014-03-11T12:52:01.775-10:00First the Niihau grab then this hit against Mina. ...First the Niihau grab then this hit against Mina.
