State funding lapses for Puna road - HiloJulie - 02-05-2025
There is a term that defines these people commonly used in the English language, especially in a comedic setting, but it offends the thin-skinned chauvinist group, so I'll leave it to you guys to call them whatever you think is appropriate, although it looks like someone ate that goose for dinner. Once again.
Think the "study" will be done by the time we all get flying cars?
State funding lapses for Puna road study to find another route for evacuations, growing traffic : Big Island Now
A snip:
State funding of $1 million that was approved in 2022 for the Puna Makai Alternate Route feasibility study has lapsed, further delaying the much-needed development of a road to alleviate traffic and provide another evacuation route for the growing population of the area south of Hilo.
“This funding was critical to identifying and planning an alternate route for Puna residents, to alleviate traffic, as well as create an alternate route to escape Puna in case of a natural disaster,” said Rep. Greggor Ilagan, who represents several communities in Puna. “Yet, due to county inaction, we are now back at square one.”

And this is a surprise because . . . ?
I urge everyone to read the full article via the link that HiloJulie helpfully provided. The finger pointing and befuddlement are just so typical.

Inept is "the term" (actually word) that comes to mind.
Hopefully, Kimo will light some fires under some of those behinds.

When I see something like this that the inept County has done, I remind myself, "I'm here for the weather".

"The funding expired on June 30, the end of the last fiscal year, because Hawai’i County failed to release its required $500,000 million match for the study."
To be fair, Hawaii county doesn't have $500 billion. And if we did, why would we need $1M chump change from the state for a study? We could all have flying cars with giant aquariums attached to the underside housing sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads.

I’ll take one. I need that for some of the drivers in front of me whenever I head to Hilo.
Kimo will light some fires
The funding deadline has passed. The money is gone. Lighting a fire at this stage of the process won’t get you anything. Except fire.

I have no idea what this thread is about but posting about roads is so last week.

Greggor asking for the million. Again.
