Don't have to reinvent the wheel...just look to Maui. Right on Mayor Tavares for following up w/ enforcement. Our Council and County are spineless and/or looking out for their self interests. That tvr vote was a deal breaker for me. I will give Kaipo another chance for that vote alone. He and Derek are the only incumbents I'm voting for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-85865280146048475222010-11-02T07:13:18.696-10:002010-11-02T07:13:18.696-10:00dumb and corruptdumb and corruptAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-86644505389319621402010-11-02T07:05:08.399-10:002010-11-02T07:05:08.399-10:00Kauai is the "Dumb" Island....Look at th...Kauai is the "Dumb" Island....Look at the people we have running the show....knuckleheads.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-1078430252954524102010-11-01T23:02:43.259-10:002010-11-01T23:02:43.259-10:00Yes, but they also have a lot more units to inspec...Yes, but they also have a lot more units to inspect.<br /><br />November 1, 2010 12:02 PM<br /><br />actually, not really...roughly twice the numberAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-21094976418526454832010-11-01T12:02:23.718-10:002010-11-01T12:02:23.718-10:00"the difference with Maui county MIGHT be tha..."the difference with Maui county MIGHT be that they have 15 inspectors, while that number represents the majority of the entire planning department on Kauai."<br /><br />Yes, but they also have a lot more units to inspect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-79089758176002738052010-11-01T11:59:04.915-10:002010-11-01T11:59:04.915-10:00What's to prevent Kauai frm enforcing with the...What's to prevent Kauai frm enforcing with the fines actually going to pay for the inspectors?

At council there is both a corporation council for the council and the administration has its attorneys .
