Nakamoto, a 25-year clerk's office employee, was election office administrator until Kawauchi fired her and three other employees in January 2012. Ayau was a senior elections clerk in the elections division of the clerk's office, where she had worked for more than seven years before being terminated.<br /><br />Hong said their firing was based on the county's sloppy, biased investigation that claimed Nakamoto knew about alcohol being consumed and stored at a Hilo warehouse leased by the county to store election equipment and supplies.<br /><br />Hong said the events were thank-you parties for election workers held in 2008 and 2010 and approved by previous county clerks at the warehouse site, which sits on private property.<br /><br />Ayau "felt so ashamed about what was going on in the media that she actually moved, she fled. She's now living on Kauai, taking a temporary, lower paying job," Hong added. Ayau now works at the Kauai County Clerk's office as a temporary elections clerk, he said. <br /><br />Is this Councilman Mason Chock babby momma? <br /><br />What else are they involved in? hope not stuff like what Chiba was involved in but you never know here on Kauai.<br /><br />I hope that not going be do this at Kauai's elections office. Especially in this years very important election.<br /><br />We all know how Kauai's county workers and also some state workers on Kauai like to party with drugs, sex, and alcohol in public with no shame.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-4502374151954616102014-05-24T10:43:39.760-10:002014-05-24T10:43:39.760-10:00EEOC investigation finds illegal retaliation by Ch...EEOC investigation finds illegal retaliation by Chief Perry and Shaylene.

The most recent mistrial was a travesty. A terminated deputy that will result in a lawsuit. Another deputy (assigned to prosecute traffic cases) arrested for DUI, then arrested again for driving without a license. Several deputies leaving the office for greener pastures. The excessive travel by Justin. Just wondering if you will give Justin the same scrutiny as you did with the former prosecutor.

Y'all are nuts if you think Chief Perry will pursue some sort of Carvalho bashing while on the Council, he has Kauai's best interests at heart. <br />The real test is that many of our Council members are a joke. Gary "million fistee" Hooser made no friends in the Senate or in the many State agencies he touched while in State service. Somehow, he has touched a sensitive place with Bynum and Yukimura so their is a weird triad of sorts, Chock is an unknowing part of this menage a trois and Jay just watches flaccidly. <br />Mention Kauai to any political people on Oahu and their eyes go skyward and they talk about a Council person suing the people. Kauai is a joke to them. Tho', I think they wouldn't have minded if they had gotten the big dough Jackpot Bynum received from the hands of his fellow accommodating Council members.<br />What the Council needs is attention to the budget and to remember they serve all of Kauai's people, not just the bike riding, goat growing, turnip chewing, gluten free-baser, anti-Ag, anti-Hotel, anti-tourist crowd.<br />Kauai has regular family oriented working people, too.
