The planning dept. takes too long on my permits, I'll sue'em.<br />Sue for every thing...and that Property Assessor don't like fat people, he gave me a high tax, so I go'in sue them. <br />Wallmart has a sale on rice cookers, I better go buy one right now....

That way the remainder of the Council can put themselves to the grindstone of government and let him wander among the Twittering airheads and disaffected Youtubers to his heart's content without gumming up the works with stagy distractions.

However, although erosion studies were not done of rocky shorelines, they are by no means exempt from the multitude of hazards other coastal areas face, including erosion. The scientific studies may not have included rocky shores, but they are no less hazardous and should be protected and houses set back, however the council took this opportunity to weaken the original shoreline bill and allow development a mere 60 feet from rocky shores, instead of the previous 100 feet required in the law.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-87117471771833389032014-11-20T22:25:19.387-10:002014-11-20T22:25:19.387-10:00@7:01 - quaif?

Now they are staying.<br />The Mayor, hopefully will VETO the anti-Ag Bill. The County has no right to know the amount a Lessee pays. This is private information. <br />Tim's parting shot was to place a bad law Bill on the Mayor's table. Please veto this, Mr. Mayor.<br />Speaking of the Mayor, remember back when he stood in the rotunda of the Round Building and tried to explain his reasons for vetoing 2491? His patience and compassion were startling. He was trying to talk for over 15 minutes. The shrieking Fistees with arm's flailing and fingers pointing would not allow him to speak. Andrea's father, Rob Brower was one of the more zealous actors. Our Mayor withstood this disrespect calmly. Finally he said his good words and answered many disrespectful questions. Our mayor maintained his respectful and truthful actions thru out the turmoil. He continues to prove himself a real leader.<br />The whole political situation has gotten out of hand, there is no respect. <br />This anti-Ag bill is Tim's last quaif. A smarmy, probably illegal last slap at Ag. And of course JoAnn, Mason and Gary approved it. There is no end to what these 4 will do to destroy Ag on Kauai.<br />A bad Bill, veto it, Please...Shucks Mayor, just Veto it to give Timmy a little send off. Aloha Tim, thank you for the million dollar rice cooker, Ag TVRs, pencil throwing and especially for the incredibly bad way you treated your County Council Chamber employees....All of the Chamber employees are happy Tim is gone.
