Just because of my heritage I do not hold that as a crutch nor do I expect any special treatment.

Mel had a conflict of interest being on the Council and working for Shay at OPA; how was he ever allowed to vote on OPA agenda items? <br />3. So what if Al's wife was hired as a RECEPTIONIST at OPA? Shay hired the treasurer of her campaign AND her niece. Hypocrite much?<br /><br />THANK YOU GARY for giving Al the chance to say his side of the story even if he chose not to. At least SOMEONE on the Council is open to hearing both sides. <br /><br />For those of you that say "3 native hawaiians" were terminated when Justin took office, I bet you have NO CLUE as to the work they did not do in that office. Try asking current employees how those "native hawaiians" performed in their duties while getting those $30k raises by Shay; 1 year straight out of law school and making $80-$100k a year - HOW ON THIS PLANET ARE THEY QUALIFIED????. Yes I'm a supporter of native hawaiians, but it don't mean a thing if those native hawaiians arent pulling their weight in workload; just because you're hawaiian doesn't mean you get special treatment. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-47162066060955807312013-02-05T10:17:06.638-10:002013-02-05T10:17:06.638-10:00Amazing how many comments when the subject is Shay...Amazing how many comments when the subject is Shay.

Good grief, Shaylene, while you're at it, would you like to mention your prosecuting your long ago boyfriend, Rego, and the hell you put this guy through? You're married now; you have a husband. Move on! Zanger saved Rego.<br /><br />So, was Hilario's grandmother really a strong supporter for Kollar during the elections? If so, there would be cause to be concerned that justice is served in Hilario murder trial.<br /><br />Eric Skinner charged with Impersonating an Officer, but courts dismissed. Skinner is an edgy, easily angered, moody, kinda guy. I wouldn't want him taking care of process of service if I were the D.A.<br /><br />Sorry Shay, but your boy, Mel, was hit with much, much worse charges than Skinner. All had to do with Mel's misconduct as a KPD Sgt., and during the detainment of prostitute, Monica Alves. It was disgusting.<br /><br />98% service rate leading to 95% conviction rate? Yup, Shaylene--no doubt.<br /><br />I don't know if either could serve up a glass of water over a sink. The 3 ring circus lives on.

I know this. I worked with her for years and have read enough of her emails to know exactly how she writes and thinks. <br /><br />The statistics she's using to justify her points...the talking in not-quite complete sentences...the half-truths...the intimate knowledge of the 11 people that were let go...the indignant self-righteous tone...I've seen this all before. <br /><br />Shaylene, I know quite well that Lea Young was so pathetically unqualified to be a law clerk that it was laughable. You had her working as a middle-person between the attorneys and the process server duo of Eric and Makana (call Makana an investigator if you like but he never investigated anything). Neither of those guys listened to anything John Burgess said because they knew they were untouchable...your pets. So they sat around all day either in Jamie Chong's office or at the front desk bothering whoever happened to walk by, or driving around the county vehicle on personal errands. They freely admitted taking sick leave to go work on their truck for days on end. <br /><br />As for Jared and Lance, they were promising attorneys that only needed the proper training and guidance to become really good, and instead they got you: by the end, they cared nothing for justice. <br /><br />Kai Lawrence is the only 1 out of those 11 that really cared enough to be a good prosecutor. Luckily for him he hadn't been under your foot long enough to be poisoned by your attitude and misplaced priorities. <br /><br />Jake Delaplane...i can't figure out if he is yet another promising young attorney that got ruined by you or just an idiot that doesn't know when to abandon the sinking ship. <br /><br />To the people that think there are still "shay" loyalists in the office, let me assure otherwise. Everyone present from the last regime now knows what it is like to finally be able to breathe. And it feels good. We no longer call in "sick" just to avoid her toxic presence because we can't stand being there. We don't immediately flee the building at 4:30.00 anymore, we'll be there till 5...5:30...7...8...however long it takes to get our work done; because we don't fear being forced into one of her pau-hana's at Kalapaki Joes anymore. <br /><br />You can say whatever, WHATEVER, you want about Justin or anyone else...but I for one know that our county and victims are in much better hands now. Our prosecutors have real leadership in one Kevin Takata, a career prosecutor that actually knows what it means to be a prosecutor, and an example that the rest of OUR office can learn from. And Justin brought him here instead of appointing some gullible, inexperienced goon "yes" man like Jake Delaplane, because Justin actually cares more about victims and justice than power, ego, and personal vendettas. <br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-43982496629639835852013-02-01T21:39:34.017-10:002013-02-01T21:39:34.017-10:00Shay sure as shit has loyalists in her office who ...Shay sure as shit has loyalists in her office who will have no problem feeding Shay and Mel insider info.

The Law Clerk simply assists the lawyer and IS NOT required to be an attorney. Secondly, she only had one process server so apparently your source of information is bad. In any event, her process server was never arrested for ANY crime, much less for impersonating a law enforcement officer? He also maintained a 98% service rate which led to a conviction rate of over 95% of all felony cases.<br /><br />Please check your source.
