The same enthusiasm can also be found for the other side of the issue. Just as hungry, just as enthusiastic. <br /><br />This game can be played in both directions.<br /><br />Unfortunately for the people of Kaua'i, it is a game being played with their lives, futures and survival here. Sad, but true. It's time for us to get serious about winning this game, and stop being just spectators.<br /><br />It's is time to give these people a little run for their money. <br /> Frankly I think that the gauntlet has been thrown into the ring. I also believe there are those willing and able, to pick it up and take the challenge!<br /><br />I also could not care less if our "crack team" consisted of Old Attornies, Retired attornies, Young attornies, purple blue polka dotted attorneys. All I care about is a group of attorney's ready to take on the money and powers that be, and win a landmark case and set precedent.<br /><br />Now I know enough about the attorney game to know that is what amounts to as catnip for the attorney set. Stuff like that can transcend money.<br /><br />Any takers?<br /><br />Excuse me, I gotta wash the pumpkin crunch pan now.

It never is.

No pumpkin crunch. And in my opinio...No cheesecake. No pumpkin crunch. And in my opinion by the end of the night I think everyone regretted voting yes on the TVR bill.<br /><br />Funny thing to me is that all of the farmers left and no one stayed to fight for the farm worker housing bill...except Joann was there, and Roy was there, and some of the people that have land in Moloa'a.<br /><br />It was decided that the issue at Moloa'a, after Uncle Kaipo's presentation would be handled separately, and the requirement that a piece of land be in IAL designation was taken out.<br /><br />We kinda figured out that if the IAL process works the way the rich want it too, it will downgrade most of the ag land so it can be rezoned. By taking out the IAL requirement, it assures that more people will be able to apply.<br /><br />How this helps is that if one operation says it needs farm laborers, and the guy next door claims he can't farm, sort of cancels his claim out. Brilliant huh? I caught that one. Whew~ We got that out of there.<br /><br />They try and try. But we are catching up real quick. As for the whole who is the client, and who pays the paycheck? Sorry, I am so not buying that. If that is the case, then get ready people of Kauai. <br /><br />We can collectively hire our own team of attorneys then. Since apparently the County Attorney's office has different clients then us even though we have to foot the bill.<br /><br />I think that collectively we can all pitch in together to hire a crack team. What do you all think?<br />I know some great local kids who are fresh out of law school. Let's get them on speed dial.<br /><br />It could be like one great Law School Court Competition. We could maybe even get it on the list for a tourist event here, and charge admission. <br /><br />We could serve pumpkin crunch, lemonade and flying saucers and popcorn. We could have waterslides for the keiki. It could be a great moneymaker.<br /><br />Any takers?Wahine Warriornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-27803647536104842042010-07-29T00:02:17.873-10:002010-07-29T00:02:17.873-10:00For the record... the correct spelling is Dahilig....<em>For the record... the correct spelling is Dahilig.</em><br /><br />thanksJoan Conrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00172330100788007499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-43730841434464798212010-07-28T22:27:34.897-10:002010-07-28T22:27:34.897-10:00mel was a no show. figures.mel was a no show. figures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-45000552242619599212010-07-28T22:23:35.164-10:002010-07-28T22:23:35.164-10:00tourista are the new money treetourista are the new money treeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-38997263728617784082010-07-28T21:50:04.947-10:002010-07-28T21:50:04.947-10:00There's cheesecake?There's cheesecake?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-43464606913438898872010-07-28T17:26:03.256-10:002010-07-28T17:26:03.256-10:00For the record... the correct spelling is Dahilig....For the record... the correct spelling is Dahilig.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-60097992007245885812010-07-28T11:51:01.545-10:002010-07-28T11:51:01.545-10:00Therefore, THE PEOPLE OF KAUAI can demand investig...<i>Therefore, THE PEOPLE OF KAUAI can demand investigations, and demand accountability of ALL COUNTY EMPLOYEES, including the COUNTY ATTORNEY's OFFICE, becasue they are paid for with PUBLIC FUNDS: IE THE PEOPLE OF KAUAI.</i><br /><br />The people of Kauai can demand free cheesecake for life if they want to.

Apparently what people think is reporting is just political posturing for some office or another. Blogging allows for biased opinions to be mixed in with events that suit the opinion being promoted, reporting is actually much different animal. Understanding the issues would involve grown up discussions (not throwing idiotic accusations around, and personal insults) and an explanation of the law and its application. It is unfortunate that people on Kauai are being fed biased opinions as facts so that elections can be won by certain individuals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-37227412873677463602010-07-28T08:00:05.508-10:002010-07-28T08:00:05.508-10:00Please!
