Firstly, "wake up" is not part of Kaua`i Rising's phraseology- that refers to `Ohana `O Kauai's motto, altho I believe many in the community are ready to wake up, wise up and rise up in response to the government's "GAP" (or generally accepted practices) here on Kaua`i. This leads me to wonder how much of rest of your reporting is also a bit less than accurate? Secondly, it seems that you are very willing to aim "potshots" at Kaua`i Risng, without apparent reason. What are you basing your criticisms on? How often do you get together with these folks that you belittle and besmirch to understand their motivation? I agree with much you have written in the past, but your column seems to becoming more sarcastic and bitter than the witty woman I know you to be. I also believe that you have the best interest of the community at heart, so perhaps you might consider taking Kaua`i Rising's actual motto, and "Shine the Light" with Aloha!

The seed farms pump millions into our economy and a few whiners who cough every time they see a tractor are not going run them out of town. Thank goodness we have a mayor who has the vision we need and who is smart enough to never let this dumb little pass the Bill stuff actually ever be put into action. The next election will send Hooser packing and the Mayor and the next council will just repeal the Bill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-77851558544327759642013-12-19T08:16:08.887-10:002013-12-19T08:16:08.887-10:00JoAnn loves studies.

The red shirts should be excluded if the farmers are. A stakeholder group is not appropriate for this. Independent, profession is what is needed.

It's clear whose side she is on while she pretended to be in favor, she made the bill (2491) illegal, got her cohorts to support the crappy amendments and then she laughs to herself mightily as she says the legality must be decided in the courts. While she undermined the the words, that's the form it goes to the courts. The kids health is not important to her, hence this stupid EPHIS amendment.

The Council denied his request and passed the bill knowingly, that the bill was flawed. <br />3. The Council and the Mayor were both advised by the County Attny that the bill was flawed. The Council chose to sweep it under the rug and proceeded to pass the bill. Rush, Rush Rush and solve nothing. <br />4. The Mayor had no choice but to veto the bill. I would have done the same. <br />5. The Mayor was willing and working with the Governor and other State and Federal agencies to come to a resolve.<br />6. Hooser says no and conspires to override the veto.<br />7 . The Mayor is OFF the hook and now Hooser has the ball back in his court. Scrambling and looking for people to sit on a committee that will agree with his position. Shady, Shady, Shady!<br />8. Where Joanne and Fufaro sits in this dilemma is questionable, educated or not.<br />9. All I can say is good luck?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-25623301999917377902013-12-18T18:07:14.313-10:002013-12-18T18:07:14.313-10:00so having a college degree makes you smart and no ...so having a college degree makes you smart and no political agenda<br /><br />that has to be the most arrogant comment I have ever heard..LMAO<br /><br />so its like Obomacare..............<br /><br />We have to pass it to see whats in it<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-83673992612053320002013-12-18T14:14:07.401-10:002013-12-18T14:14:07.401-10:00Joan- Methinks you are way off in your synopsis re...Joan- Methinks you are way off in your synopsis regarding GMO/Herbicides. Gary, Tim and Joann all have college degrees. They are very smart people and they have no political agenda. They definitely will find easy and accurate answers to GMOs. This science is not very complicated and their group will explain the mysteries of genetics, selective herbicides and all dangers to health. It is about time that someone has stepped up and is willing to tell the Feds, State, CDC, EPA and the thousands of geneticists, scientists, MDs and pharmacogenomic researchers what are really the facts on GMOs and Herbicides. I hope their intellectual aspirations commence AFTER they have figured out the complexity of a new Kilauea Gym roof and the solving the mystifying equations necessary to cleaning up our County Parks.
