All planning dept and director as well as PC decisions should be based on the rules and laws... it's not that we need the director to be a lawyer, but to know and utilize existing laws is what should be as well as shoulda been. The county lawyers (Mike included) have been advising Ian, so what will change? Ian is a nice guy, but as planning director failed mightily to follow laws and rules. That was evidenced by the many lawsuits filed against the planning dept, PC and director. <br />I don't care what race or color our county appointments are, just that they follow the laws of the land, not make up their own. I guess we'll see by the person they choose, if experience or politics matters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-29258185048053355872010-11-22T05:15:31.654-10:002010-11-22T05:15:31.654-10:00The thuggish and do whatever they want planning in...The thuggish and do whatever they want planning inspectors gotta go next.

Gary told me this evening that the guy that KPD thought <br />did them but could not prove that did them is out of jail and <br />apparently back on island - his name is Waldorf Wilson and if you <br />search Sex Offenders in Hawaii you will find a picture of him. <br />Apparently he rides a bike - targets middle-aged caucasian women and <br />is currently thought to be living in Puhi. Look up his picture. <br />Keep an eye out for him. Don't go camping alone on secluded <br />beaches. He attacked one woman that was gardening in her yard I <br />think. Not trying to be paranoid but Gary thought it was important <br />enough to tell me tonight to 'be careful'......just sayin'.<br /><br />For everyone who has asked - I hope this link works!<br /><br /><br />http://sexoffenders.ehawaii.gov/sexoffender/details,A0116377.html<br /><br /><br />This is original email that was forwarded. Did Gary's wife just make it up? Was he/she just trying to scare women on Kauai? <br /><br />And as far as racism, the old time Japanese democrats and Senator Inouye all backed Bernard so I can't see him eliminating the Japanese from his administration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-92030646635262674542010-11-21T09:40:21.737-10:002010-11-21T09:40:21.737-10:00"Ian is a nice guy."

That sounds wild but if he's in the Planning Dept. is in Bernard's bag. Bernard's transparency applies to his motives as well.<br /><br />Whatever happened to Bernard's PRE-CAMPAIGN report card? It's gone MISSING. And will he keep AA Heu who started the rumor of Waldorf Wilson being the suspect responsible for recent deaths of haole women? Turns out Wilson was not even on the island. <br /><br />Sigh, it's the START of 4 years Bernard is betting the public will not even remember. Meanwhile, HE WILL be hard to forget.
