He needs to listen to all segments of the community and not just his base. Those who have been disenfranchised the most will suffer the greatest as a result of the tvr ordinance. He got his piece of the pie and wants to ensure the likes of Michelle Hughes get their piece too! <br /><br />He can talk all he wants but I'm not buying his justifications. Bottom line is long term local farmers will hurt but main ting he took care of transplants like himself and their retirement dreams.<br /><br />Computer savy does not make a councilman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-65511117679892626552010-10-21T09:20:03.876-10:002010-10-21T09:20:03.876-10:00"Nice try but everyone knows Kaipo isn't ..."Nice try but everyone knows Kaipo isn't computer savvy"<br /><br />Ha, yeah lets vote in the guy who doesn't know how to use a computer. <br /><br />And only elect council members who will ignore their attorney's advice.<br /><br />And no haoles. <br /><br />Smart bunch here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-62366582695498276242010-10-21T08:31:05.979-10:002010-10-21T08:31:05.979-10:00Who is the dork who (a) wants to ad hominem write ...Who is the dork who (a) wants to ad hominem write off all comments they disapprove of as written by Tim (they're not), and (b) hilariously chastises for anonymous comments...anonymously! <br /><br />If this is the mental agility of Tim's opposition, he doesn't have much to worry about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-8464873807268610112010-10-21T06:48:00.972-10:002010-10-21T06:48:00.972-10:00If Tim believed the BS he spouts, he would sign hi...If Tim believed the BS he spouts, he would sign his name instead of anon... but he knows its BS better to be anon and see what sticks.Do not vote for Bynam...anyone else is better/ anyoneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-829027974893564322010-10-20T20:43:05.618-10:002010-10-20T20:43:05.618-10:00Yeah, Tim, quit commenting here anonymously.Yeah, Tim, quit commenting here anonymously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-35768524751379206732010-10-20T11:49:37.465-10:002010-10-20T11:49:37.465-10:00lease read Chapter 205 before you start spouting o...<i>lease read Chapter 205 before you start spouting off.

She constantly cuts in on other council members when they have the floor. According to a witness she has been seen giving scowling "stinkeye" looks at other council members. At the very least I would say she is probably bi polar based on her uppity ups and dippity downs that we have witnessed during the last two years of channel 53.

Butwe don't elect the county attorney, and i expect the council members to think for themselves and not be bullied by the county attorney who is pushing the political agenda of the admistration . <br />So for my vote, I'll choose the people who can think for themselves like Derek and Kaipo <br /><br />Hanalei, Wainiha and Haena did not have near as many vacation rentals as have been permitted and there are many more to come thanks to Tim. And to be legal before, they would have had to have a use permit for the commercial activity before ...how were they legal? <br /><br />Another dilemma is this, if they either got denied or did not ever apply,but continued operating without the use permit, they now can get permitted. That really encourages people to flaunt laws. <br /><br /> Many houses that never were tvr's and some that still aren't got permitted. There is a long list of associated problems that are being swept under the rug as our community is made into a resort for the wealthy.Tim is not from the NS, and apparantly is willing to write us off as resort due to threats of lawsuits. If all the residential areas on the north shore are resort, where are people supposed to live? And why should we have no community on the north shore? It already has an oversized resort area that is zoned that way. <br /> Maui has inspections ...but Kauai has a no look no see policy...kauai planners say it is now just a registry, that was never th stated goal. If you illegally operated a multi fAmily vacation rental, why should you now be permitted? No transparancy Tim, that is the problem. The process and information is secret.

What it really did was give the rest of the island another year to register their vacation rentals, this time with no inspection, no need to comply with anything. So the planning director who implemented the ordinance with zero transparancy and zero accountability now gets to continue to turn areas like Hanalei and Haena into resorts. The commission had public hearings and they had to make the decision in public, now its all done behind the scenes by the "planning director". Mr. Bynam's calls for transparancy are fake, shams, he introduced and voted for this bill that takes away all public participation and all accountability, made zoning moot. <br />Look beyond what the council members say, and see what they do. <br />Don't vote for bynam, frankly he sucksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-2170820190406951262010-10-19T07:16:32.184-10:002010-10-19T07:16:32.184-10:00Re: 12:16 AM
